RNA was harvested from frozen and homogenized samples using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, Darmstadt, Germany). The Turbo DNA-Free Kit from Ambion (Ambion Life TechnologiesTM, Carlsbad, USA) was used to exclude DNA contamination. Messenger RNA was purified from total RNA using poly-T oligo-attached magnetic beads. After fragmentation, the first strand cDNA was synthesized using random hexamer primers followed by the second strand cDNA synthesis. The library was ready after end repair, A-tailing, adapter ligation, size selection, amplification, and purification.
