Total RNA was extracted and purified using Trizol reagent(Invitrogen) following the manufacturer's procedure. The RNA was reverse-transcribed to cDNA by SuperScript™ II Reverse Transcriptase (Invitrogen, cat. 1896649, USA), which was next used to synthesise U-labeled second-stranded DNAs with E. coli DNA polymerase I (NEB, cat.m0209, USA), RNase H (NEB, cat.m0297, USA) and dUTP Solution (Thermo Fisher, cat.R0133, USA).An A-base was added to the blunt ends of each strand, preparing for ligation to the indexed adapters. Dual-index adapters were ligated to the fragments, and size selection was performed with AMPureXP beads. After the heat-labile UDG enzyme (NEB, cat.m0280, USA) treatment of the U-labeled second-stranded DNAs, the ligated products were amplified with PCR by the following conditions: initial denaturation at 95℃ for 3 min; 8 cycles of denaturation at 98℃ for 15 sec, annealing at 60℃ for 15 sec, and extension at 72℃ for 30 sec; and then final extension at 72℃ for 5 min. At last, we performed paired-end sequencing (PE150) on an Illumina Novaseq™ 6000 platform following the vendor's recommended protocol.
