GSM8634627: HCT116 cells with shControl, rep2; Homo sapiens; RNA-Seq
Total RNA was extracted using Qiazol (Qiagen, IT), purified from DNA contamination through a DNase I (Qiagen, IT) digestion step and further enriched by Qiagen RNeasy columns for gene expression profiling (Qiagen, IT). Quantity and integrity of the extracted RNA were assessed by NanoDrop Spectrophotometer (NanoDrop Technologies, DE) and by Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, CA), respectively. RNA libraries for sequencing were generated in triplicate using the same amount of RNA for each sample according to the Illumina TruSeq Stranded Total RNA kit with an initial ribosomal depletion step using Ribo Zero Gold (Illumina, CA). The libraries were quantified by qPCR and sequenced in paired-end mode (2x75 bp) with NextSeq 500 (Illumina, CA).
