B cells were isolated using EasySepTM mouse pan B cell isolation kit (STEMCELL Technologies; Cat #19844). Cell pellets were captured and washed in PBS on ice prior to resuspension in TRIzol reagent and stored at -80°. Total RNA was isolated from TRIzol suspensions using a chloroform/ethanol extraction method and quantified via Qubit RNA HS Assay kit (Invitrogen). The Clontech SMARTer v4 kit (Takara Bio USA, Inc.) was used for global preamplification. Illumina sequencing libraries were derived from the resultant cDNA using the Illumina Nextera XT DNA Library Prep Kit following manufacturer's instructions. RNA-sequencing libraries were prepared with the Illumina Tru-Seq stranded kit and sequenced on a Hiseq 4000 targeting 40x10E6 fragments per sample.
