Total RNA was extracted from fresh cells or frozen tumors using TRIzol® Reagent (Invitrogen), or AllPrep DNA/RNA Mini Kit (Qiagen) or NucleoSpin RNA kit (Macherey-Nagel; for the SKN-SH cell line treated with chemotherapy). All samples were subjected to quality control on a Bioanalyzer instrument and only RNA with RIN (RNA Integrity Number) > 6 were used for sequencing. RNA sequencing libraries were prepared from 1 µg of total RNA using the Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA Library preparation kit which allows performing a strand-specific sequencing. A first step of polyA selection using magnetic beads is done to focus sequencing on polyadenylated transcripts. After fragmentation, cDNA synthesis was performed and resulting fragments were used for dA-tailing and then ligated to the TruSeq indexed adapters. PCR amplification is finally achieved to create the final cDNA library. After qPCR quantification, sequencing was carried out using 2 x 50 cycles (paired-end reads 50 nts) for all samples (except SH-EP, 2 x 100; Pair1-Relapse and Pair3-Relapse, 2 x 75; Pair2-Relapse, 2 x 150). Sequencing was performed with the Illumina HiSeq2500 instrument (high output mode) except for cases Pair1-Relapse and Pair2-Relapse analyzed with the NextSeq500 instrument and Pair3-Relapse3
analyzed on a HiSeq4000 instrument. Reads were aligned to the human reference genome hg19/GRCh37 using TopHat2 v2.0.645 with the following parameters: global alignment, no mismatch in the 22 bp seed, up to three mismatches in the read, library type fr-firststrand. Gene expression values (FPKM=fragments per kilobase per million reads) were computed by Cufflinks v2.2.146 and further normalization between samples was done using quantile normalization (R/Bioconductor package limma)
