RNA-Seq of Arabidopsis thaliana: adult leaf
Total RNA was used for purifying the poly-A containing mRNA molecules using poly-T oligo-attached magnetic beads. Following purification, the mRNA was fragmented to an average insert size of 200-400 bases using divalent cations under elevated temperature. Library preparation and RNAseq were carried out as described in the Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA Sample Preparation Guide, the Illumina NextSeq 500 System Guide (Illumina, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA), and the KAPA Library Quantification Kit - Illumina/ABI Prism User Guide (Kapa Biosystems, Inc., Woburn, MA, USA)
