RNA was isolated using a RNeasy mini kit (Qiagen, Manchester, UK). Contaminating genomic DNA was removed using a DNA-free kit (Thermo Fisher). 1 µg of RNA was used for the construction of sequencing libraries. mRNA libraries and transcriptome sequencing were performed by Novogene (Cambridge, UK) on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 to generate 31.2 – 41.4 million 150 bp paired-end reads per sample
