Genomic DNA was extracted from adipose fin clips using a column extraction kit (NucleoSpin Tissue, Macherey Nagel, Düren, Germany) following the manufacturer’s recommended protocols. DNA quality was assessed by visualization after gel electrophoresis on a 2% Agarose gel and quantified using a Qubit 2.0 Fluorometer with the dsDNA BR Assay (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Each sample was normalized to a total amount of 1 µg of DNA with a minimum concentration of 25 ng/µL. DNA was used to construct a single ddRAD-library containing 44 individuals, following a previously described protocol in [67 (link)] with a modified set of barcoded P1 and P2 adapters for paired-end sequencing on Illumina platforms. In brief, each sample was digested using two restriction enzymes, a rare-cutting enzyme (PstI-HF, 20 units) and a frequent-cutting enzyme (MspI, 20 units) (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA, USA). Samples were individually barcoded using unique combinations of barcoded P1 and P2 adapters. After multiplexing of the barcoded samples, a size selection step was performed using the Pippin Prep (Sage Science, Beverly, MA, USA) and fragments between 145–295 bp were selected. The amplified library was sequenced on half a lane (200 million reads) of an Illumina NextSeq 500 (75 bp paired-end reads) at Glasgow Polyomics (University of Glasgow).

Cloning and Validation of ncRNA Plasmids

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Individual human tRNA sequences were obtained from the Genomic tRNA Database (GtRNAdb), and human miRNA sequences were extracted from miRBase. Plasmids encoding target ncRNAs (Table S1) were cloned as previously reported 28 (link) involving two strategies. Most inserts were obtained through PCR amplification using htRNA-specific primers (Table S2) (IDT, San Diego, CA) and corresponding btRNAMet-based ncRNA expression plasmids24 as templates. A few other target inserts were directly amplified through PCR reactions with longer primers containing 16-nt complementary sequences (Table S2). The amplicons were thus cloned into pBSTNAV 29 (link) linearized by endonucleases EcoRI-HF® and PstI-HF® (New England Biolabs, Ipswitch, MA) as previously described 28 (link). All clones were propagated in Stellar™ Competent Cells (Takara Bio, Mountain View, CA) and confirmed by DNA sequencing (Genscript, Piscataway, NJ).

The cloning and restriction primers were designed using Prime premier 5.0 (Supplementary Table S7) [39 (link)]. The EsMBD sequences were cloned using cloning primers and enzyme digestion primers, using E. senticosus cDNA as a template and Taq DNA polymerase (TIANGEN, Beijing). The amplification conditions were as follows: pre-denaturation at 94 °C for 5 min, denaturation at 94 °C for 30s, annealing at 55 °C for 30s, extension at 72 °C for 5 min, and an additional extension at 72 °C for 5 min. A lethal fast cloning kit (TIANGEN, Beijing) was used to connect the cloned sequences with the pLB vectors and was introduced into competent Escherichia coli Top10 cells (TIANGEN, Beijing, China). Sequencing was performed using a SinoGenoMax (Beijing, China). The recombinant pLB plasmids were extracted using a TIANprep Mini Plasmid Kit (TIANGEN, Beijing, China). The pHG vectors and recombinant pLB plasmids were digested overnight at 37 °C with BamHI-HF, PstI-HF, and SacI-HF (NEW ENGLAND BIOLABS, Beijing, China) restriction enzymes. We used T4 DNA ligase (NEW ENGLAND BIOLABS, Beijing, China) to connect EsMBD genes with pHG vectors overnight at 16 °C to construct recombinant EsMBD-GFP expression vectors. The total reaction system was 20.0 µL with 1.0 µL T4 DNA ligase, 1.0 µL Nuclease-Free Water, 2.0 µL T4 DNA ligase Buffer, 11.0 µL Insert DNA (20 ng / µL), 5.0 µL pHG vector.

we adopted modified GBS methods (SuperGBS, following Qi et al. [43 (link)]) to construct libraries. Briefly, extracted DNA from each individual was digested with both PstI-HF and MspI (New England Biolabs, NEB) for 2 h at 37 °C and then 2 h incubation at 75 °C. The barcoded adapters and common adapter were respectively ligated on the PstI cut site and the MspI cut site of all samples by T4 DNA ligase (NEB), ligation was running at 22 °C for 2 h. Fragments smaller than 300 bp were removed using recovery system of improved magnetic bead. The recovered fragment was amplified by PCR using high-fidelity enzymes, before libraries were sequenced, the concentration of PCR product was tested by Qubit2.0 and it should be greater than 5 ng/ul. Final libraries were sequenced using Illumina Hiseq Xten, PE150 Platform.

Primers to amplify ddrR and umuDAb from A. baumannii ATCC 17978 genomic DNA were designed using Primer3 (Rozen and Skaletsky 1999 (link)) and are described in Table 1. We performed PCR using PHUSION II polymerase according to its protocol (Thermofisher Scientific). After digestion with the restriction enzymes PstI HF and BamHI HF (New England Biolabs), the PCR products were cloned into the pUT18c, pUT18, pKT25, and pKNT25 vectors provided by the BACTH system (Euromedex, France). This produced recombinant plasmids encoding hybrid proteins consisting of UmuDAb or DdrR fused to the 18 or 25 kD adenylate cyclase (AC) domains (AC18 or AC25 denotes the 18 kD or 25 kD domains of AC, respectively). Gene fidelity and frame was confirmed by DNA sequencing. The resulting gene/enzyme subunit plasmid orientations are listed in Table 2 and Fig. 1. To test for hybrid protein production from E. coli AB1157, BTH101, and DH5α cells containing pairs of the plasmids, cultures were grown overnight with IPTG to induce protein expression. Cell lysates (processed with Bug Buster HT, Millipore-Novagen) were run on an SDS-PAGE gel, then Western-blotted with antibodies targeting the AC18 subunit (Millipore-Novagen) and the C-terminal end of UmuDAb (Hare et al. 2012a (link)).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To obtain genome-wide SNPs, GBS analyses [24 (link)] were conducted for 91 di- and 102 tetraploid individuals, with one of the latter included twice as a replicate. For the library preparation, 200 ng of genomic DNA was used and cut with the two restriction enzymes PstI-HF (NEB) and MspI (NEB). Library preparation, individual barcoding, and single-end sequencing on the Illumina NovaSeq were performed following Wendler et al. [28 (link)].
Barcoded reads from the 194 samples were de-multiplexed using the Casava pipeline 1.8 (Illumina). Adapter trimming of GBS sequence reads was performed with Cutadapt [29 (link)] within ipyrad v.0.9.58 [30 (link)] and reads shorter than 60 bp after adapter removal were discarded. GBS reads were clustered using the ipyrad 0.7.5 [30 (link)] pipeline with a clustering threshold of 0.85. We tested diverse ipyrad settings but at the end the default settings of parameter files generated with ipyrad were optimal for the other parameters. We generated one output that included the outgroup C. malyi, which was used for phylogenetic analyses, and a second output without C. malyi, which was used for principal component analysis (PCA) and population assignment analyses.

Assessing Nucleosome Fidelity in Libraries

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MN fidelity in the final, assembled MN library was determined using a modified version of the restriction enzyme accessibility assay. This assay, described in the ACF remodeling assays section below, enables determination of rates of MN sliding based on liberation of a PstI restriction site embedded in the nucleosome 601 positioning sequence. The restriction enzyme digestion employed in this assay can also be used to quantify the fraction of disassembled nucleosomes for each individual MN in the library. Aliquots of the DNA-barcoded MN library were treated with or without 2 U/μL PstI-HF (New England Biolabs) at 37 °C for 64 min. Barcoded DNA was amplified and prepared for and subjected to next-generation sequencing as described above. MN barcode read counts were first normalized among samples to the ‘uncuttable’ (PstI site absent) non-nucleosomal DNA barcode read counts. The ‘cuttable’ (PstI site present) non-nucleosomal DNA barcode served as a positive control for PstI digestion. These data confirmed that MNs in the library were well assembled (98 ± 5%) (Extended Data Fig. 2d).

Rapid Sequencing Library Preparation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Three RAD libraries with twelve individuals each were prepared following a modified RAD sequencing protocol [1 (link)], using PstI-HF (New England BioLabs) restriction enzyme to digest 300 ng of genomic DNA per sample. Digested DNA was ligated to P1 barcoded adapters using twelve different barcodes for each library. Adapter-ligated fragments were pooled and sheared targeting a 500 bp average fragment size using a sonicator. To remove adapter dimers, libraries were purified with Agencourt AMPure XP (Beckman Coulter) magnetic beads after P2 adapter ligation with a volume DNA/beads ratio of 1:0.8. After end-repair using a commercial kit (New England BioLab), libraries were amplified by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) performing an initial denaturation step at 98°C for 30 s, followed by 18 cycles of one denaturation step at 98°C for 10 s, annealing at 65°C for 30 s, extension at 72°C for 30 s and a final 5 min extension step. PCR-enriched libraries were purified with AMPure XP beads and the DNA concentration of each library was quantified in a Qubit 2.0 (Invitrogen). Libraries, in a proportional representation, were paired end sequenced in three lanes of an Illumina HiSeq 2000 at Genepool (Ashworth Laboratories).
