title: GSM5831823: WT, pH 7, replicate 2 [STr112]; Mycobacterium tuberculosis; RNA-Seq
library_construction_protocol: RNA was extracted as previously described by Rohde, Abramovitch, and Russell (Cell Host and Microbe 2:352-364, 2007). In brief, RNA was stabilized with guanidine-thiocyanate lysis buffer prior to a freeze-thaw step. Once thawed, bacteria were lysed with 5 µg/ml lysozyme, followed by hot Trizol and physical disruption through silica bead agitation in a Beadbeater.  A chloroform extraction was used to further isolate the RNA before purification with an RNAeasy kit (Qiagen). DNA was degraded with Turbo DNAfree DNAse (Ambion). RNA quality was assessed with an Aligent Bioanalyzer. The cDNA library was constructed with an Illumina Stranded Total RNA with Ribo-Zero Plus kit.
