GSM5669035: R6_2C_1; Mus musculus; miRNA-Seq
RNA was extracted by TRIzol reagent or miRNeasy mini kit (Qiagen). DNase digestion was performed by the DNA-free™ Kit (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) or the RNase-free DNase set (Qiagen) following the manufacturer's instructions. The concentration and purity of RNA were measured at 260, 280 and 230 nm by a NanoDrop (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Sample libraries were prepared using the QIAseq miRNA Library Kit (QIAGEN) according to the manufacturer's protocols. Adaptors are ligated sequentially to the 3' and 5' ends of miRNAs. Subsequently, universal cDNA synthesis with UMI assignment, cDNA cleanup, library amplification and library cleanup are performed. Libraries were sequenced on an Illumina instrument (75-cycle single-end read, 75SE).
