Total RNA was extracted using the Zymo MagBead DNA/RNA extraction kit (Cat #R2130). RNA quality was assessed using a Nanodrop 1000 and concentrations were determined with a Qubit Fluorometer 2.0. Samples were then prepared as Lexogen QuantSeq 3'mRNA-Seq cDNA libraries (Cat #015), pooled, and sequenced on a NOVAseq S2 flow cell at Lexogen Facilities (Vienna, Austria).
