RNA was extracted from the uterine tissues using the RNeasy Mini Kit for total RNA isolation (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA). Libraries were prepared by the Van Andel Genomics Core from 500 ng of total RNA using the KAPA mRNA Hyperprep kit (v4.17) (Kapa Biosystems, Wilmington, MA USA). RNA was sheared to 300-400 bp. Prior to PCR amplification, cDNA fragments were ligated to IDT Illumina UDI dual Indexed adapters (Illumina Inc, San Diego CA, USA). Quality and quantity of the finished libraries were assessed using a combination of Agilent DNF-474 HS fragment kit (Agilent Technologies, Inc.) using a Fragment Analyzer (Agilent Technologies, Inc.), and QuantiFluor® dsDNA System (Promega Corp., Madison, WI, USA).  Individually indexed libraries were pooled and 50 bp, paired end sequencing was performed on an Illumina NovaSeq6000 sequencer using an S2, 100 bp sequencing kit (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) to an average depth of 50M reads per sample. Base calling was done by Illumina RTA3 and output of NCS was demultiplexed and converted to FastQ format with Illumina Bcl2fastq v1.9.0.
