Nuclear RNA was prepared from HEK293T (kidney) cells. Briefly, cells were lysed on ice for 5 min in 10 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.5, 10 mM NaCl, 0.2 mM EDTA, 0.05% NP-40, and nuclei were spun at 2,500g for 3 min and then resuspended in QIAzol for RNA isolation using the miRNeasy kit according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Qiagen). The RNA-seq library was created using the Illumina TruSeq RNA Sample Preparation Kit v2 with the standard protocol, and sequenced on one lane of the HiSeq 2000 platform (100 bp, paired-end). Data are available at NCBI as accession number SRP041943. The database of annotated protein coding and noncoding genes (41,409 genes and 171,904 transcripts in total) was produced by merging all annotated genes from the RefSeq database29 (link), the UCSC Browser24 (link) and the Ensembl database30 (link).

Total RNAs were extracted using standard hot phenol RNA preparation method (51 (link)). For RT-PCR analysis, 1.5 µg of total RNAs were subjected to reverse transcription (RT) using gene-specific primers, and then the resulting cDNAs were analysed by standard PCR method or qPCR. Primers used are listed in Supplementary Table S3. The half-life of pre-mRNAs was determined as described previously (52 (link),53 (link)). For northern blotting, the procedures were as previously described (50 (link)) except that total RNAs (10 µg) were separated by 6% acrylamide gels. Sequences of oligonucleotide probes are listed in Supplementary Table S3. Band intensities were quantified using ImageJ densitometry software.

Total RNA is prepared from cells or frozen tissues with RNA STAT-60 according to the manufacturer′s instructions. For a typical assay, 4µg of total RNA is treated with a 1:5 dilution of RNase-free DNase I in the presence of 4.2mM MgCl2 in a final volume of 20µl. This is performed in 0.2ml thin-walled PCR tubes in a standard thermocycler at 37°C, 30 min., 75°C, 10 min., and 4°C hold. The reverse-transcription mix consisting of 1X First Strand Buffer, 10mM DTT, 200U of SuperScript RTII reverse transcriptase, 2mM dNTPs and 0.08µg/µl random hexamers is then added directly to the tubes with the DNAse-treated RNA for a final volume of 100µl. The cDNA synthesis is carried-out in the thermocycler at 25°C for 10 min., 42°C for 50 min., 72°C for 10 min., and 4°C hold. Following the reverse-transcription, DEPC-treated H2O is added to the unknown samples to bring the volume to 200µl, and the cDNA concentration to 20ng/µl. (Note that samples used as cDNA standards are not diluted prior to making the 5-fold dilution series used in primer validation and standard curve assays.) This will result in enough template cDNA to test approximately 40 QPCR targets.

MRC crystallization plates (Swissci) containing MORPHEUS (85 µl in the main wells) were prepared on a Mosquito (TTP labtech) or ScreenMaker (Innovadyne) nanolitre liquid handler. Our standard setup for initial screens is to mix equal-volume aliquots of the protein and condition at 297 K, with a 200 nl final volume of drops, and to store the plates at 292 K. Final assessments were made after one week by manual inspection using a high-powered Leica MX-12 stereomicroscope. A drop was considered a crystallization hit when it contained protein crystals larger than 20 µm, so that they could be mounted in a cryoloop for X-ray diffraction.

For immunophenotypic studies, all samples were systematically processed in parallel with the EuroFlow protocol versus the local routine procedures. Accordingly, the EuroFlow standard operating procedures (SOP) for instrument setup, instrument calibration, sample preparation, immunostaining and data acquisition16 were used at individual centers in parallel to the corresponding local protocols and techniques used for routine diagnosis and classification of hematological malignancies according to the WHO criteria. For data analysis, the Infinicyt software (Cytognos SL, Salamanca, Spain) was used in parallel to the local data analysis software programs and procedures.
For multivariate analysis of samples measured with the EuroFlow SOP and antibody panels, the Infinicyt software was used. For this purpose, the merge and calculation functions were applied for multi-tube panels prior to the analysis, as described elsewhere.31 (link), 32 (link) Briefly, prior to multivariate analyses, the populations of interest were selected and stored each in a distinct data file. Data files corresponding to the same cell population from an individual sample but stained with a different antibody tube of a multi-tube panel were merged into a single data file containing all information measured for that specific cell population. In a second step, ‘missing' data in one tube about markers only stained in the other tubes were calculated using previously described algorithms and tools implemented in the Infinicyt software.32 (link) Consequently, the generated final data file contained data about each parameter measured in the multi-tube panel for each of the events composing the cell population in that data file (Figure 2). This data file was further merged with the data files of other samples either to create a reference pool of a population of normal, reactive or malignant cells or to compare it with one or more of such reference pool data files, through multivariate analysis, for example, principal component analysis (PCA).31 (link)

Example 4

FIGS. 5A-B show an exemplary nucleic acid library method to reverse the orientation of an analyte sequence in a member of a nucleic acid library. FIG. 5A shows an exemplary member of a nucleic acid library including, in a 5′ to 3′ direction, a ligation sequence, a barcode (e.g., a spatial barcode or a cell barcode), unique molecular identifier, a reverse complement of a first adaptor, an amplification domain, a capture domain, a sequence complementary to an analyte, and a second adapter.

The ends of the double-stranded nucleic acid can be ligated together via a ligation reaction where the ligation sequence splints the ligation to generate a circularized double-stranded nucleic acid also shown in FIG. 5A.

The circularized double-stranded nucleic acid can be amplified to generate a linearized double-stranded nucleic acid product, where the orientation of the analyte is reversed such that the 5′ sequence (e.g., 5′ UTR) is brought in closer proximity to the barcode (e.g., a spatial barcode or a cell barcode) (FIG. 5B). The first primer includes a sequence substantially complementary to the reverse complement of the first adaptor and a functional domain. The functional domain can be a sequencer specific flow cell attachment sequence (e.g., P5). The second primer includes a sequence substantially complementary to the amplification domain.

The resulting double-stranded member of the nucleic acid library including a reversed analyte sequence (e.g., the 5′ end of the analyte sequence is brought in closer proximity to the barcode) can undergo standard library preparation methods, such as library preparation methods used in single-cell or spatial analyses. For example, the double-stranded member of the nucleic acid library lacking all, or a portion of, the sequence encoding the constant region of the analyte can be fragmented, followed by end repair, A-tailing, adaptor ligation, and/or amplification (e.g., PCR) (FIG. 5C). The fragments can then be sequenced using, for example, paired-end sequencing using TruSeq Read 1 and TruSeq Read 2 as sequencing primer sites, or any other sequencing method described herein.

As a result of the methods described in this Example, sequences from the 5′ end of an analyte will be included in sequencing libraries (e.g., paired end sequencing libraries). Any type of analyte sequence in a nucleic acid library can be prepared by the methods described in this Example (e.g., reversed).

This study aimed to compare the quality of inpatient (hospitalised) versus outpatient CCE colonic and PIC studies, and to assess factors affecting the outcome.
We performed a retrospective nested case-control study at Tallaght University Hospital, Dublin, Ireland over 1 year. Adult patients who had undergone either an inpatient CCE or PIC were identified from a capsule database. Controls and subjects who had undergone outpatient CCE and PIC procedures during the same period, were sequentially selected, i.e. the next outpatient procedures after the case, in a 1:2 ratio. All participants were ambulatory and able to swallow the capsule. All procedures were performed using PillCam®Colon 2 Capsules (Minneapolis, MN, USA) using a standard bowel preparation and booster regimen. For PIC, the SB sleep mode was manually deselected prior to capsule ingestion. Risk factors for delayed transit were identified at pre-assessment for all outpatients, and if present, patients had a gastric transit assessment at 30 minutes, as per ESGE Technical Review guidance [1 (link), 10 (link)]. Similarly, all inpatients underwent a gastric transit assessment as they are an identified at-risk group. If gastric transit was delayed and in the absence of contra-indications, patients received a prokinetic (metoclopramide 10 mg PO / IV).
Patients took 4 7.5 mg Senna tablets 2 days before the procedure. Then, the evening before the procedure, they ingested the first litre of a two-litre split-dose bowel preparation with Moviprep® (Norgine, Amsterdam, Nederland) a PEG-based solution. The second litre was taken on the morning of the procedure and all procedures were performed before 12:00. The first booster, Moviprep® with 750 ml of water and 15 ml of castor oil, was given when the capsule reached the small bowel. Then, 3 hours later a second booster of Moviprep® with 250 ml of water was given [11 (link)].
All studies were analysed by trained capsule endoscopists using Rapid Reader software version 9.0, and the findings were approved by our institution’s capsule review board. Basic demographics and key outcome measures were identified from the procedure reports and hospital patient records as required. Findings were compared between groups using X [2 (link)] or student t-tests as appropriate, and relevant odds ratio (OR) calculations were performed as indicated. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered significant.
