library_construction_protocol: The animal total RNA was extracted according to the instruction manual of the TRlzol Reagent (Life technologies, California, USA). RNA concentration and purity was measured using NanoDrop 2000(Thermo Fisher Scientific, Wilmington, DE). RNA integrity was assessed using the RNA Nano 6000 Assay Kit of the Agilent Bioanalyzer 2100 system (Agilent Technologies, CA, USA). A total amount of 1 μg RNA per sample was used as input material for the RNA sample preparations. Sequencing libraries were generated using Hieff NGS Ultima Dual-mode mRNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina (Yeasen Biotechnology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.) following manufacturer's recommendations and index codes were added to attribute sequences to each sample.
