Because of the low RNA content of microglia and our desire to use each animal as an individual sample, we employed low RNA input protocols for RNA-Seq library preparation. cDNA for RNA-Seq libraries was prepared using 10 ng of RNA using the SmartSeq v4 Ultra Low RNA Input Library prep protocol (Clontech 634889) according to the manufacturer's instruction. The cDNA (250 ng starting material) was then tagged and fragmented with the NexteraXT DNA Library Preparation kit (Illumina FC-131-1024) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Quality of amplified cDNA and fragmented libraries was assessed on a Bioanalyzer with the High Sensitivity DNA chips (Agilent 5067-4627). Tagged libraries were pooled (8 nM total DNA) and sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq2500 sequencer, with target depth of 20 million of 50 bp paired end reads.
