GSM8207016: Blastocyst_mRNA_B; Mus musculus; RNA-Seq
Ten equal fractions were recovered and subjected to RNA isolation by Trizol reagent (Sigma). The RNA-seq libraries were generated from individual fractions by using the Smart-seq2 v4 kit with minor modification from manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, individual cells were lysed, and mRNA was captured and amplified with the Smart-seq2 v4 kit (Clontech). After AMPure XP beads purification, amplified RNAs were quality checked by using Agilent High Sensitivity D5000 kit (Agilent Technologies). High-quality amplified RNAs were subject to library preparation (Nextera XT DNA Library Preparation Kit; Illumina) and multiplexed by Nextera XT Indexes (Illumina). The concentration of sequencing libraries was determined by using Qubit dsDNA HS Assay Kit (Life Technologies) and KAPA Library Quantification Kits (KAPA Biosystems). The size of sequencing libraries was determined by means of High Sensitivity D5000 Assay in at Tapestation 4200 system (Agilent). Pooled indexed libraries were then sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq X platform with 150-bp paired-end reads.
