The Quant Studio 3™ Real Time System and QuantStudioTM Design & Analysis Software v1.5.2 (Thermo Scientific) were used for qPCR analysis. Primer pairs HPRT1, TGM2, SYN1, RET, DBH, DRD2, CHT and ACHE were selected (see Supplementary Data 3). Six biological replicates were performed for each cell culture condition of SH-SY5Y cells (undifferentiated, RA- and RA/PMA-differentiated cells). Each biological replicate was analysed in technical duplicates. No template controls were used for each primer set. For qPCR, 3 μl cDNA (corresponding to 38 ng RNA) and 17 μl MasterMix (PowerTrack™ SYBR Green Master Mix, Thermo Scientific) were mixed. Optimised conditions were applied for each primer pair (Supplementary Data 3). Each reaction was subjected to melting temperature analysis to confirm presence of specific singly amplified products (Supplementary Fig. 8). The primer efficiency was calculated using a dilution series of cDNA as template (Supplementary Data 3). Specific gene amplification was normalised to HPRT1 and quantification was performed using the 2−∆∆Ct method53 (link). To calculate the fold-change the geometric mean of undifferentiated cells was used. A two-tailed t-test between two conditions was used for calculation of p-values.

Viral RNA was extracted using the PureLink Viral RNA/DNA mini kit (Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Next, the isolated RNA was reverse transcribed using QuantiTect reverse transcription kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany). By real-time PCR with the PowerUp SYBR Green master mix, the cDNA was quantified (Applied Biosystems; Thermo Fisher Scientific) on a QuantStudio 3 real time system (Applied Biosystems).

Stool samples collected from seropositive participants on or between their last seronegative and first seropositive time points during the first year of the pandemic (January 1-December 31, 2020) were tested for viral RNA. Detailed methods for stool viral RNA extraction, RT-PCR, and sequencing are provided in the S1 Appendix. Briefly, total nucleic acid was extracted from homogenized and filtered stool specimens and quantitative real time PCR (qRT-PCR) was performed using the QuantStudio 3 Real-Time system (Applied Biosystems) [22 (link)]. Full-length SARS-CoV-2 genome sequencing was attempted on all qRT-PCR-positive samples. Consensus sequences were called using iVar (version 1.0; parameters -q 20, -t 0.75, -m 20, -n N) [23 (link)]. Lineages were assigned using pangolin (version 2.3.8) [24 ]. Sequence alignments were performed with MAFFT (version 7.471) [25 (link)] and phylogenetic reconstruction performed with iqtree with 1000 ultrafast bootstraps [26 (link)]. Phylogeny was visualized using FigTree (version 1.4.4) [27 ]. Sequences used in phylogenetic analysis include 500 randomly selected global sequences from GISAID [28 (link)], the Wuhan1 reference genome, and the two genomes sequenced in this study (GISAID accession numbers EPI_ISL_2771497 and EPI_ISL_2771498).

Total RNA was extracted from KU812 cells using an AllPrep DNA/RNA/Protein Midi Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, USA); TRIzol reagent was used to extract RNA from primary erythroid progenitors. Subsequently, cDNA was generated using the high capacity reverse transcription kit (Applied Biosystems) and qPCR was performed in a QuantStudio 3 Real‐Time System using SYBR Green™ Master Mix (Applied Biosystems). The level of DNMT1, DNMT3A, DNMT3B, MECP2, HBG and HBB gene transcripts were determined using gene specific primers (Table SI). To quantify GYPA (glycophorin A) and TFRC (transferrin receptor) gene expression, we used the RT2‐qPCR Primer system (Qiagen, Germantown, MD, USA). Relative quantification of gene expression was normalized to GAPDH as an internal control. Quantification of MIR29B was performed using the TaqMan miRNA assay (Applied Biosystems) according to the manufacturer's instructions and SNORD48 was used as endogenous control. The 2−ΔΔCt method was used for calculating the relative amount of target mRNA. All RT‐qPCR reactions were performed in triplicate, repeated at least 3 times, and always included a no‐template sample as a negative control. RT‐qPCR results are presented as average fold change of target gene in cells relative to Scr control, which was normalized to one.

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.
