For experiments with human plasma samples, RNA was isolated manually using an RNeasy Micro kit (Qiagen) and for experiments with mouse plasma samples, automated RNA isolation was performed using a MagMax mirVana kit (Invitrogen, A27828) on either a KingFisher Flex or a Kingfisher Duo Prime liquid handling robot as per the manufacturer's recommendation (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Total RNA was stored at -80°C. 100 - 250 ng of total RNA from each iCAP sample was used for automated library preparation and RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) performed by Covance/Labcorp. Strand-specific library prep was performed with PolyA selection using TruSeq RNA Library Prep kit (Illumina) with unique dual indices (IDT) and resulting DNA samples were pooled and spread evenly across lanes and sequenced on a HiSeq 4000 (Illumina) with paired-end 150 bp reads yielding 20-30 M total reads per sample.
