RNA-Seq of human brain tissue: dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC): Sample CMC_HBCC_RNA_PFC_3055
Total RNA was isolated from approximately 100 mg homogenized tissue from each sample by TRIzol/chloroform extraction and purification with the Qiagen RNeasy kit (Cat#74106) according to manufacturer's protocol. Samples were processed in randomized batches of 12. The order of extraction for schizophrenia, bipolar, and MDD disorders and control samples was assigned randomly with respect to diagnosis and all other sample characteristics. The mean total RNA yield was 24.2 ug (+/- 9.0). The RNA Integrity Number (RIN) was determined by 4200 Agilent TapeStation System. Samples with RIN <5.5 were excluded from the study. Among the remaining samples the mean RIN was 7.5 (+/- 0.9) and the mean ratio of 260/280 was 2.0 (+/- 0.03). DLPFC RNA-Seq data are provided for 367 samples. RNA library preparation and sequencing was done in randomized batches of 94. The sequencing libraries were prepared using the KAPA Stranded RNAseq Kit with RiboErase (KAPA Biosystems). rRNA was depleted from 1ug of RNA using the KAPA RiboErase protocol that is integrated into the KAPA Stranded RNAseq Kit. The insert size and DNA concentration of the sequencing library was determined on Fragment Analyzer Automated CE System (Advanced Analytical) and Quant-iT PicoGreen (ThermoFisher) respectively.
