library_construction_protocol: RNA was extracted from 10mL exponential phase cell pellets using an miRNeasy mini kit (QIAGEN). gDNA was digested using TURBO DNase (Invitrogen), and RNA was repurified using the Monarch Spin 10 µg RNA Cleanup Kit (NEB). Samples were submitted to Azenta Life Sciences/Genewiz for RNA quality assessment, library preparation, and sequencing (Illumina NovaSeqX+ 2x150bp).
