RNA-seq of V. destructor Modi'in: whole-body
RNA was extracted, using the TRI reagent protocol following the manufacturers instructions and treated with TURBO DNase I to remove genomic  DNA contamination. Illumina libraries were constructed from the RNA  samples with the TruSeq Stranded mRNA Library Preparation Kit with polyA  selection (Illumina) and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 to  generate strand-specific paired reads of 2  151 base pairs (bp).
