Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Re-sequencing was performed to detect the off target in edited strains. Total DNA was extracted from C. glutamicum according to manufacturer’s protocol (TIANGEN, Beijing, China). DNA quality was determined using Qubit Fluorometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, San Jose, CA, USA) to determine total mass and Fragment Analyzer to determine DNA integrity. The genome of C. glutamicum was sequenced using an Illumina HiSeq 4000 system (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) at the Beijing Genomics Institute (Shenzhen, China). Genomic DNA was sheared randomly to construct three read libraries with lengths of (300 bp) by a Bioruptor ultrasonicator (Diagenode, Denville, NJ, USA) and physico-chemical methods. The paired-end fragment libraries were sequenced according to the Illumina HiSeq 4000 system’s protocol. Raw reads of low quality from paired-end sequencing (those with consecutive bases covered by fewer than five reads) were discarded. The sequenced reads were assembled using SOAPdenovo v1.05 software.

To profile the m6A methylome of the T2D islets, we applied m6A-seq (m6A-MeRIP-seq) to 7 T2D patients and 8 non-diabetic controls as well as one prediabetic sample and one sample from an adolescent non-diabetic. A minimum of 20,000 human islets equivalents (IEQs)/patient were used for total RNA extraction using Trizol according to the manufacturer’s instruction. mRNA was isolated from total RNA using Dynabeads mRNA DIRECT purification kit (Thermo Fisher, USA). mRNA was adjusted to 15ng/ul in 100ul and fragmented using Bioruptor ultrasonicator (Diagenode) with 30s on/off for 30 cycles. m6A-immunoprecipitation (m6A-IP) and library preparation were performed using EpiMark N6-Methyladenosine enrichment kit (NEB, USA). Input and RNA eluted from m6A-IP were used to prepare libraries with KAPA mRNA Hyper Kit (patient islets samples).
In the samples from EndoC-βH1 cells and mouse islets, we sequenced three replicates for each experimental group. Total RNA was purified using Trizol according to the manufacturer’s instruction. Four μg of sonicated total RNA were used for m6A-IP and library were constructed using Takara Pico-Input Strand-Specific Total RNA-seq for Illumina.
All sequencing was performed on Illumina HiSeq 4000 according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Approximately 30 million single-end 50-bp reads were generated for each sample.

Genome sequencing was performed on an Illumina HiSeq 4,000 system (Illumina) at BGI company (Shenzhen, China). Genomic DNA was sheared randomly to construct three read libraries with lengths of 300 bp by a Bioruptor ultrasonicator (Diagenode, Denville, NJ, United States) and physico-chemical methods. The paired-end fragment libraries were sequenced according to the Illumina HiSeq 4,000 system’s protocol. Raw reads of low quality from paired-end sequencing (those with consecutive bases covered by fewer than five reads) were discarded. The sequenced reads were assembled using SOAPdenovo v1.05 software. The completeness and contamination of the genomes were accurately estimated by the CheckM pipeline.

The cells used for the ChIP assay were cultured to about 80% confluence, and then, 1% formaldehyde and 0.125 M glycine were added to the media to initiate and terminate crosslinking, respectively. The scraped cells were placed in a 1.5‐ml DNA LoBind Tube (Eppendorf) and centrifuged at 2500 g and 4°C for 5 min. The pellet was then resuspended with nuclei lysis buffer (50 mM Tris‐Cl, 10 mM EDTA, 1% SDS, and a protease inhibitor cocktail) and the released chromatin was sonicated using a Bioruptor ultrasonicator (Diagenode) before being diluted with IP dilution buffer (20 mM Tris‐Cl, 2 mM EDTA, 150 mM NaCl, 1% Triton X‐100 and a protease inhibitor cocktail). The samples were incubated with specific antibodies overnight at 4°C. The antibodies were anti‐H3K4me1 (ab8895, Abcam), anti‐H3K27ac (ab4729, Abcam), and anti‐H3 (ab1791, Abcam). And the chromatin–antibody complexes were captured by protein A/G beads. We used qPCR to assay the immunoprecipitated DNA. The primers used in this analysis are in Table S1.

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.
