design: RNAseq of a unique human heart 5 days post-myocardial infarction versus healthy donor controls
library_construction_protocol: Premortem cardiac samples were collected from the left ventricle (LV) right ventricle (RV) or right atrium (RA) within 15 minutes via snap freezing in liquid nitrogen Approximately 50mg of tissue/sample was disrupted using a metal bead (Qiagen #69989) in a 2mL tubes with 500uL TRIzol (Ambion #15596018) using the TissueLyser LT (Qiagen) and RNA extraction performed according to TRIzol manufacturer's instructions. DNA removal was performed using Qiagen RNAse-Free DNase kit (Qiagen #79254) and purified using the RNeasy Mini kit (Qiagen, #74104) according to manufacturer's instructions. RNA quality was evaluated using a Nanodrop and an RNA Nano Chip (Agilent #5067-1511) on an Agilent Bioanalyzer. Libraries were prepared with Illumina Stranded Total RNA prep Ligation with Ribo Zero Plus kit, according to manufacturer's instructions. Libraries were sequenced using a paired-end 250bp Illumina NovaSeq 6000 S4 flow cell.
