We analyzed 2 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with the Multiplex SNaPshot kit for rs5498 T>C in exon 6 of the ICAM1 gene and rs1041163 T>C in the VCAM1 gene. The primers for ICAM-1 rs5498 were: Forward: 5′-GTAAAGGACCTCTGGGTTACT-3′ Reverse: 5′-AGGCTTCTGGATCTCCTCTT-3′. The primers for VCAM-1 rs1041163 were: Forward: 5′-ACTCACAGAGCACATTCACG-3′ Reverse: 5′-AGATCTTGAGGGCACCTAC-3′. The PCR protocol was: initial denaturation at 94°C for 5 min, 33 cycles of amplification at 94°C for 30 s, annealing at 55°C for 30 s, and extension for 30 s at 72°C, followed by a final extension for 5 min at 72°C. PCR products were purified with Shrimp Alkaline Phosphatase (SAP) and preserved at 4°C. The primers and sequences of the SNaPshot extension reaction were: rs5498-R-R-60: 5′-tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttAGCACATTCACGGTCACCT-3′. rs1041163-Y-F-34: 5′-tttttttttttGCTAGTATTTCCTGAATCAATTT-3′. The reaction protocol was: 25 cycles of extension at 96°C for 10 s, at 51°C for 5 s, and at 60°C for 30s, followed by 1 cycle at 4°C.

Strain SPS-2 was inoculated into the PDA medium for a few days to culture and become cultivated, followed by morphological observations and the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) gene amplicon sequencing. First, the sequence of ITS was amplified via polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with ITS1-ITS4 primer pairs. Additionally, 3 µL of the PCR product was taken for 1% agarose gel electrophoresis detection to confirm the PCR amplification fragment. Then, the products were recovered using an AxyPrep DNA Recovery Kit. Finally, sequencing was performed with an ABI3730-XL sequencer. Meanwhile, the ITS sequence with 1199 bp was submitted to GenBank in the NCBI database, and an accession number was acquired. A phylogenetic tree was constructed using MEGA (version 7.0, https://www.megasoftware.net/, accessed on 25 June 2022) by comparison with other Alternaria strains with high similarities in the NCBI database.

Genomic DNA was extracted from the peripheral blood samples collected in EDTA test tubes using a DNA Purification Kit (Promega, Madison, WI, USA). SNPscan genotyping assay (Genesky Biotechnologies Inc., Shanghai, China) was used to analyze the genotyping of miRNA-146a rs2910164 C>G polymorphism. In brief, a 150 ng DNA sample was heated to 98°C and held for 5 minutes. The ligation reaction was carried out in an ABI 2720 thermal cycler. Then, a 48-plex fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was conducted. In an ABI 3730XL sequencer, capillary electrophoresis was harnessed to analyze the PCR products. GeneMapper 4.1 software (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) was used to read the information of the genotype. For quality control, different technicians genotyped 4% of the genomic DNA samples that were randomly selected. And, the results were in full accord with the findings of the first assays.

Gene sequencing was performed using Sanger sequencing. After the PCR products were purified, the samples were run on a 3730XL sequencer (ABI), and Run 3730 data collection V3.0 software was run at the same time. The final sequencing results were assessed using Chromas or SeqMan software, and sequence alignment was completed using SeqMan software.

Structural variants in Ws-2 relative to the Col-0 reference were predicted using Pindel (Ye et al. 2009 (link)). For validation, we PCR amplified 1−2 kb of sequence spanning the predicted CO breakpoints. For the Ws-2 chromosome 4 insertion, we amplified ~500 bp to 1 kb around the predicted breakpoints. Genomic DNA was PCR amplified using reactions containing 0.4 µM forward and reverse primers, 0.2 µM dNTPs, 1x Phusion High Fidelity Buffer, and 0.2 units Phusion Taq (New England Biolabs) along with template DNA and incubated in an MJ Research PTC-200 or PTC-225 thermal cycler (Hercules, CA) at 94° for 2 min, followed by 37 cycles of 20 sec at 94°, 20 sec at 50−60°, and 30 sec at 72° with a final extension step at 72° for 5 min. Primer sequences are provided in Table S2. We sequenced the amplified regions in the Col-0 and Ws-2 parents and the F2 individuals with the predicted CO in sequencing by assembling reactions containing 1 µM primer, 0.5 µL of BigDye Terminator ready reaction mix, and 1X sequencing buffer and incubating for 20s at 96°, followed by 29 cycles of 10 sec at 50° and 4 min at 60° before analyzing on an ABI 3730xL sequencer.

SSR Molecular Marker Screening Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The SSR molecular marker test includes DNA extraction, primer screening, fluorescence quantitative PCR, and electrophoresis tube detection. DNA was extracted using a genomic kit from Beijing Botanical Biofet Plant. This DNA extraction kit was used to select primers as the 36 main reference pairs [21 ,22 ,23 (link)], and 12 pairs of primers with high and stable polymorphism were screened (Table 2) for fluorescence quantitative PCR and electrophoresis tube detection.
The fluorescence quantitative PCR consists of a 20 µL system, including 17 µL of gold mix (green), 1 µL of front primers, 1 µL of back primers, and 1 µL of DNA template. The amplification procedures are listed as follows. First, pre-denaturation was performed at 98 °C for 2 min. The second stage was the cycle stage. Samples were denatured at 98 °C for 10 s, annealing at 55–62 °C for 10 s, extended at 72 °C for 10 s, and cycled 35 times. The third stage was the extension stage. Samples were extended at 72 °C for 5 min. For the capillary test, the mixing plate was heated at 95 °C for 5 min with a metal bath heater and immediately put into an ice box at −20 °C. The mixing plate was removed after cooling, centrifuged at 4000 rpm, thawed, and mixed well. Then, it was placed in an ABI 3730xl sequencer for capillary electrophoresis.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To assess for the presence of germline mutations and large deletions and duplications in the MSH6 gene, DNA extracted from blood was tested by full genomic sequencing of the 10 exons of the gene and by gene dosage analysis [multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA)]. These analyses were performed in a CLIA-certified laboratory (City of Hope Molecular Diagnostic Laboratory, Duarte, CA, or Mayo Medical Laboratories, Rochester, MN). Prior to the ordering of genetic testing, patients received appropriate genetic counseling by certified genetic counselors, who were also in charge of disclosing the results to the patients in person or by phone. In addition, germline DNA sequencing on a research basis was performed on an ABI 3730XL sequencer using Big Dye Terminator cycle chemistry at the Sequencing and Microarray Facility Core of UTMDACC for two patients: one patient who was found to harbor a germline MSH6 mutation by clinical testing and with the research analysis performed to confirm the result, and one patient who fulfilled Amsterdam I criteria and was not offered genetic testing at the time of the initial genetic evaluation. PCR conditions and primers used for those cases tested on a research basis are available upon request.

VLs were assayed blind to randomised group using Abbott m2000sp/rt or Roche COBAS Amplicor Monitor ultrasensitive tests, v1.5, with lower limit of detection of 80 copies/ml because many samples were diluted 1:2 due to low volumes. Genotyping for reverse transcriptase was done blind to randomised group using an in-house assay at a WHO-designated laboratory (Joint Clinical Research Centre, Kampala, Uganda) using the ABI 3730xl sequencer. Major NRTI and NNRTI mutations were defined using IAS-USA 2013 [11 (link)], and drug susceptibility was predicted using the Stanford algorithm version 7 [12 (link)].

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.
