Transcriptome analysis of Ammopiptanthus mongolicus
We enriched the poly (A) mRNA using beads with Oligo (dT) and interrupted mRNA into short fragments with fragmentation buffer. Using these short fragments as templates, we synthesized first-strand cDNA with hexamer-primers and reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen). The second-strand cDNA was synthesized using buffer, dNTPs, RNaseH (Invitrogen) and DNA polymerase I (New England BioLabs). The short fragments were then purified using a QiaQuick PCR extraction kit and resolved with EB buffer to finish the end reparation, and were connected using sequencing adaptors. After resolution by agarose gel electrophoresis, we selected fragments suitable for PCR amplification. We then constructed two paired-end libraries which were sequenced using an Illumina HiSeq™ 2000.
