Total RNA was isolated using the RNeasy Plus Mini Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA) per manufacturers recommendations The TruSeq Stranded mRNA Sample Preparation Kit (Illumina, San Diego, CA) was used for next generation sequencing library construction per manufacturer's protocols. Briefly, mRNA was purified from 200ng total RNA with oligo-dT magnetic beads and fragmented. First-strand cDNA synthesis was performed with random hexamer priming followed by second-strand cDNA synthesis using dUTP incorporation for strand marking. End repair and 3` adenylation was then performed on the double stranded cDNA. Illumina adaptors were ligated to both ends of the cDNA and amplified with PCR primers specific to the adaptor sequences to generate cDNA amplicons of approximately 200-500bp in size.
