GSM8697986: E18.5 TAF4b+/+ Oocytes, Replicate 2; Mus musculus; RNA-Seq
Total RNA was extracted from cells following the Trizol Reagent User Guide (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Extracted RNA samples were quantified using Qubit 2.0 Fluorometer (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA) and RNA integrity was checked using Agilent TapeStation 4200 (Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA, USA). SMARTSeq HT Ultra Low Input Kit was used for full-length cDNA synthesis and amplification (Clontech, Mountain View, CA), and Illumina Nextera XT library was used for sequencing library preparation. Briefly, cDNA was fragmented, and adaptor was added using Transposase, followed by limited-cycle PCR to enrich and add index to the cDNA fragments. Sequencing libraries were validated using the Agilent TapeStation, and quantified by using Qubit Fluorometer as well as by quantitative PCR (KAPA Biosystems, Wilmington, MA, USA).
