  1. Processing and storage methods: LN- liquid nitrogen; RL – RNAlater; FFPE – formalin fixed paraffin embedded; TR – trizol; RS – RNA/DNA shield; S – saline; ng – nanograms; μL – microlitres; RQS – RNA integrity number. ND - under limit of detection; NA – sample was not run on nCounter. Quantifluor and RQS data was acquired after RNA concentration with.
  2. Zymo RNA Concentrator kit (Zymo).
