title: GSM6339493: 9050G, liver, susceptible, control; Bos taurus; RNA-Seq
library_construction_protocol: The total RNA of liver samples was extracted using the ZYMO Quick DNA/RNA Miniprep Plus Kit (Zymo Research, CA). For homogenization, tissue samples with DNA/RNA Shield were mechanically homogenized by Qiagen TissueRuptor II (Qiagen, MD). RNA concentrations were measured by Qubit fluorometer 3.0 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA) with Qubit RNA BR Assay Kit. RNA sequencing libraries were constructed using the NEBNext Ultra II Directional RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina (New England Biolabs, MA) and NEBNext Poly(A) mRNA Magnetic Isolation Module (New England Biolabs, MA), with a 1500 ng total RNA input. The concentrations and the size distribution of the libraries were checked by the LabChip GX Touch HT machine using the HT DNA NGS 3K Assay (Perkin Elmer, MA). The fragment size of final libraries ranged from 343 to 409 bp. The libraries were individually barcoded and pooled. The libraries were sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 sequencing machine to generate 150-bp paired-end reads
