library_construction_protocol: Total RNA was extracted from the autopsy tissues by first flash freezing each tissue in liquid nitrogen and then using the CryoPREP Tissue Disruption System (Covaris) to pulverize the tissue into a fine powder. The powder was then immediately resuspended in cell lysis buffer and RNA was extracted using the ReliaPrep RNA Tissue Miniprep System (Promega, #Z6112) by following the manufacturer's instructions. A DNase digestion was also performed during the RNA extraction workflow to remove any potential contamination from carryover genomic DNA (reagents included in the kit). The extracted RNA was then purified using 1.8X RNAClean XP beads (Beckman Coulter) to remove any molecular impurities. Stranded total RNA libraries were generated according to the manufacturer's instructions, using the TruSeq Stranded Total RNA Gold kit for Illumina sequencing RNAseq, 2x100 PE reads, Illumina NovaSeq 6000
