title: sRNA-Seq of Zea mays Rpd1/rpd1-1 4cm cob rep 2
design: Total RNA was extracted from developing cobs (4 cm in length) using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen). The sRNA library preparation protocol was based on Illuminas sRNA Sequencing Sample Preparation Guide (Illumina, San Diego, CA). The libraries were sequenced at the Delaware Biotechnology Institute (Newark, DE).
