Gene polymorphisms of ABCB1, ABCG2, CYP3A, UGT1A, and OR2B11 were examined by Sanger sequencing. PCR conditions were 95°C for 5 minutes; 40 cycles of 95°C for 30 seconds, 60°C for 30 seconds, and 72°C for 30 seconds; and 72°C for 10 minutes. PCR products were purified using a QIAquick PCR purification kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany), cycle-sequenced using a BigDye Terminator version 3.1 cycle sequencing kit (Applied Biosystems; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) according to the manufacturer's protocol, and resolved on an ABI 3500 × L sequencer (Applied Biosystems). Sequences were analyzed using Sequence Scanner Software v2.0 (Applied Biosystems). The primers used are shown in Supplementary Table 1.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genomic DNA was isolated using the phenol chloroform method and confirmed in 1% agarose gel electrophoresis. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of full-length 16S rRNA gene with 8F and 1492R was carried out at 55 °C annealing temperature. The amplicons were sequenced at Eurofins Scientific (Bangalore, India). Raw Sanger sequences were checked for their quality using Sequence Scanner Software v2.0 (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA). Low quality reads at the 5’ and 3’ ends were trimmed and sequences below 500 base pairs after trimming were excluded. The 16s rRNA gene sequences generated in this study are available in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) gene bank under the accession number MN629977–MN630016. The resultant sequences were further processed for top hit taxonomy similarity by considering “valid name only” criteria in EzTaxon. Sequences in FASTA format of the top hit against each isolate were retrieved from EzTaxon and multiple sequence alignment (MSA) was performed using ClustalW [13 (link)] in Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis X (MEGA) [14 (link)]. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using maximum-likelihood algorithm with 1000 bootstraps.

PANK2 Exons Amplification and Sequencing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was performed to amplify PANK2 exons 1 to 7 as well as their exon/intron boundaries using Mastercycler® pro, Eppendorf AG, Hamburg, Germany. We used the mRNARefSeq NM_153638.3 as a reference sequence for designing our primers. All the primer sequences used in this study are available on request. The PCR amplicons were purified using illustraTM GFXTM PCR DNA and Gel Band Purification Kit, Cat. No. 28–9034–70, GE Healthcare. For genetic evaluation, purified PCR amplicons were sequenced in both forward and reverse directions using dye terminator chemistry (BigDye® Terminator v3.1 Cycle Sequencing Kit) on an automated capillary sequencer (ABI 3500 Genetic Analyser, Applied Biosystems®, Foster City, California, USA). Sequence electrophoregrams were analyzed using the Sequence Scanner Software v2.0 (Applied Biosystems®) and Chromas v2.5.1 (Technelysium Pty Ltd, South Brisbane, Australia). Lasergene Genomics Suite of DNASTAR® software, DNASTAR Inc., USA was used for sequence alignments and for evaluation of the genetic variations.

To confirm the identity of the dirRT-qPCR products, we sent the 143 bp DNA bands for the 5’UTR gene of chicken CoV obtained to Bioneer corporation (Daejeon, Korea) for nucleotide sequencing. The chromatograms for both forward and reverse primers were read and assessed for their quality using Sequence Scanner software v2.0 (Applied Biosystems, Foster, CA, USA), and the consensus sequences were assembled using BioEdit software v7.2. The nucleotide identity of the viral sequences was verified using BLASTn search against the NCBI GenBank database.

Multilocus Sequence Typing of NDM-producing Isolates

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MLST of isolates was performed using seven conserved housekeeping genes (gapA, infB, mdh, pgi, phoE, rpoB, and tonB) according to protocols available at the MLST Pasteur website (http://bigsdb.pasteur.fr/klebsiella/klebsiella.html) for NDM-producing isolates. Products of the above genes in MLST were sequenced by Bioneer, Co. Sequences of each housekeeping gene in both directions were analyzed by Sequence Scanner Software v.2.0 (Applied Biosystems by Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and assembled by Lasergene 6 software (DNASTAR). The sequence types (STs) of each isolate were determined based on the seven studied loci described at http://bigsdb.pasteur. fr/klebsiella/klebsiella.html.

A total of 4 DNA bands (101 bp) for the M gene of the H1N1 strain obtained, were sent to Bioneer Corporation (Daejeon, Republic of Korea) for nucleotide genome sequencing. The chromatograms for both forward and reverse primers were read and assessed for their quality using Sequence Scanner software v2.0 (Applied Biosystems, Foster, CA, USA), and the consensus sequences were assembled using BioEdit software v7.2. The nucleotide identity of the viral sequences was verified using BLASTn search against the NCBI GenBank database.

Heterogeneous Mutant Cell Isolation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The genomic region of approximately 300–600 kb centered on the position of the mutation was amplified by PCR with PrimeSTAR HS DNA Polymerase (TaKaRa Bio, Japan) and the corresponding primers (Supplementary Table 7). Amplicons were purified using a MinElute PCR Purification Kit (Qiagen, United States), and Sanger sequencing was conducted by Eurofins Genomics K. K. (Tokyo, Japan). The resulting electropherogram was analyzed using Sequence Scanner Software v2.0 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, United States), and the ratio of the mutants within the cell population was calculated according to the peak values, as described previously (Kishimoto et al., 2015 (link)). Stored cell cultures with an interval of ∼100 generations were analyzed to identify the heterogeneity of the cell population. Single-colony isolation was performed from the heterogeneous population to isolate the homogeneous mutants. The cell culture was spread on LB agar plates, and 10∼30 single colonies per plate were subjected to Sanger sequencing. The colonies of the homogeneous mutant were stored for the fitness assay as described above.

Sequencing Mitogenome Control Region of Horses

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The sequences of the 246 bp mitogenome control region fragment for modern horses were obtained using Sequencing Analysis Software v7.0 (primary analysis tool, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and Sequence Scanner Software v2.0 (viewer, Thermo Fisher Scientific).
For ancient and medieval horses, the sequences of the 246 bp mitogenome control region fragment were obtained using PALEOMIX BAM Pipeline v1.3.2 [28 (link)]. Removal of adapter sequences and collapse of reads was performed using AdapterRemoval v2.2.2 [29 (link)]. Sequence aligner bwa v0.7.15 [30 (link)] was used to perform collapsed read alignment against the reference sequence of the horse mitogenome (GenBank accession №: NC_001640.1), with a minimum read mapping quality of 25. The MapDamage v2.2.0 computational framework [31 (link)] helped recalculate base quality scores according to the probability of post-mortem DNA damage at each position in the sequence. The bioinformatics software platform Geneious Prime v2020.2.4 (https://www.geneious.com; Biomatters Ltd., Auckland, New Zealand) was used to visualize the resulting alignment and obtain a consensus sequence of the studied fragment of the mitogenome control region in which the quality of each base would be higher than 60% of the total adjusted base quality.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
