Assays

ZIKV RNA was extracted from virus working stocks using the QIAmp viral RNA minikit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). Isolated RNA was then digested with DNase I and purified using the Qiagen RNeasy kit. RNA quality was analyzed on the 2100 bioanalyzer (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA, USA) using the Agilent RNA 6000 Pico assay and quantified on a Qubit fluorometer (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) prior to rRNA depletion and RNA library prep using the KAPA HyperPrep kit (Roche Diagnostics Corporation, Indianapolis, ...
