title: Oncobox RNA-Seq of Homo sapiens: colorectal cancer
design: To isolate RNA, 10 M - thick paraffin slices were trimmed from each FFPE tissue block using microtome. RNA was extracted from FFPE slices using QIAGEN RNeasy FFPE Kit following the manufacturers protocol. RNA 6000 Nano or Qubit RNA Assay kits were used to measure RNA concentration. RNA Integrity Number (RIN) was measured using Agilent 2100 bio-Analyzer. For depletion of ribosomal RNA and library construction, KAPA RNA Hyper with rRNA erase kit (HMR only) was used. Different adaptors were used for multiplexing samples in one sequencing run. Library concentrations and quality were measured using Qubit ds DNA HS Assay kit (Life Technologies) and Agilent Tapestation (Agilent).
