Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

R. albus SY3 was sequenced at the W.M. Keck Center for Comparative and Functional Genomics (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign). Total sequence data was generated from both a paired-ended 500-nt insert library sequenced on a single lane of HiSeq (Illumina) and a paired ended 3-kb insert library sequenced on a full plate of 454 sequencing (Roche Diagnostics). These approaches yielded 47 million 100-nt reads (4.7 billion bases) and 1.4 million reads with an average read length of 402 nt (577 million bases; 71% true paired end, actual paired distance was 2386+597 nt), respectively. The 454 sequence data was assembled using Newbler v2.5.3 and the Illumina was assembled using Velvet v1.1. The assemblies were combined using Minimus2. The sequence assembled to 4 scaffolds (N50 = 1,120,630 bp) and 97 contigs (N50 = 114,193). 99.95% of bases were >Q40 and all others (1808 bp) were Q39. The total sequence produced was 3,832,777 nt and the genome was estimated to be 4.1 Mb, giving us 93.5% coverage. The modal sequence coverage depth was 131×. The sequence was annotated using subsystems in RAST.

In brief, Total RNA was isolated from PBMC (RNeasy mini kit, Qiagen) and RNA quality was assessed using an Agilent Bioanalyzer. Total isolated RNA was reverse transcribed (SMARTerTM RACE, Clontech), and approximately 27% of each cDNA reaction was used for IgG-VH amplification via PCR using SMARTerTM RACE 10X Universal primer mix (Clontech) and an IgG specific 3′ primer (5′-GGG AAG ACS GAT GGG CCC TTG GTG G-3′) for 31 cycles following the manufacturer’s recommendation. In addition to the IgG-specific portion, reverse primers also contained the Lib-L specific adaptor (454 sequencing, Roche) and barcode sequences. Barcoded IgM-VH (~715 bp) and IgG-VH (~640 bp) transcript libraries were purified using AMPure XP (Beckman Coulter Inc.), quantified using PicoGreen (Life Technologies) and normalized to 1 × 109 molecules/μl. Uniquely barcoded samples were combined in pools of normalized IgG-VH amplified libraries and subjected to emulsion PCR and unidirectional sequencing using the GS FLX Titanium Lib-L chemistry (454 sequencing, Roche).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
About 400 μg isolated genomic DNA was used for library preparation, and 454 sequencing (Roche, Switzerland) was used to acquire sequence reads with average length of 373 bp. The draft genome of D263 was assembled by using Newbler V2.3, with mapping statistics shown in Additional file 1: Table S1. Blast2Go was used to identify enriched Gene Ontology (GO) terms in D263 genes [58 (link)]. GOBU was used to characterize the GO terms in the D263 genome [59 ]. KofamScan was used to predict the KEGG pathways of D263 genes [60 (link)]. The mapping statistics are shown in Additional file 6: Table S5. This Whole Genome Shotgun project has been deposited at DDBJ/ENA/GenBank (Accession no. JAAOZU000000000). The GO terms and CAZy enzymes in T. reesei V2.0 and A. niger ATCC1015 were searched in the Joint Genome Institute (JGI) MycoCosm database [31 (link), 61 (link)–63 (link)]. Hierarchical analysis was conducted based on Pearson correlation. For proteome analyses, protein bands showing cellulolytic enzyme activities were extracted from SDS-PAGE gels. The gel slices were trypsin-digested and underwent mass spectrometry. The amino acid sequences of annotated D263 genes underwent a Mascot search (Matrix Science, USA). Protein abundance was calculated by using ProteomeDiscoverer v2.4 (Thermo-Fisher, USA).

Bacterial communities were profiled in the mouse caecum using Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE), 454 sequencing (Roche, USA), and Illumina MiSeq (USA). DGGE assessment of the bacterial communities was as follows: PCR amplification of the 16S rRNA gene used universal primers 341F-GC and 518R (Muyzer et al., 1993 (link)), and reaction conditions: 5U BioTaq polymerase in 1X buffer (Bioline, UK), 1.5 mM MgCl2, 20 pmol primers, 0.2 mM dNTPs, 5 μg BSA, and 10–50 ng of template DNA in a final volume of 50 μL. The cycle sequence consisted of initial denaturation step of 95 °C 5 min, then 30 cycles of 95 °C 1 min; 55 °C 1 min; 72 °C 1 min, and final extension of 72 °C 10 min. PCR products were purified (QiaGEN Minelute kit) before loading onto a DGGE gel (150 ng/lane). Samples were separated using the D-code system (Bio-Rad, USA) on 10% w/v acrylamide gel with a gradient of 30–70% denaturant at 60 °C for 16 h at 63 V. Gels were stained for 30 min using SYBR Gold (Invitrogen, USA). DGGE Gels were analysed with Phoretix 1D Advanced gel analysis software (Ver. 5.0, Nonlinear Dynamics Ltd.), with binary matrix of band presence/absence of individual bands used for sample comparison.

Bisulfite Conversion and Methylation Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A bisulfite conversion of genomic DNA was performed as described previously using EZ DNA Methylation-Direct Kit (Zymo Research), (Pietrzak et al. 2011 (link)). The rDNA promoter fragment containing 26 potential mCpGs was PCR amplified. As CpG methylation estimation may be biased by methyl-sensitive PCR priming (Fuso et al. 2015 (link)), we used primers that localized in the regions lacking CpG sites. The primes contained unique short tags (Multiplex Identifiers or MIDs) that were specific for each subject. To ensure accuracy of tag sequencing, we used a set of 10-base Extended Multiplex Identifiers optimized for multiplexing in 454 Sequencing system (Roche 454 Sequencing Technical Bulletin No. 005-2009, primer information details presented in Table S1).

Four pooled PCR amplified products (NVRs-gtB, NVRs-gtC, EVRs-gtB, EVRs-gtC) containing ~200–800 bp DNA fragments were prepared as shown in Fig. S4. The amplicons were purified with the microconcolumns (Qiagen) before sequencing, the products of which were used to generate multiplex identifier (MID)-tagged libraries for 454 sequencing (Roche) according to the instructions of the manufacturer. Sequence reads from the 454/Roche GS Junior sequencer were subjected for performing BLAST with the reference sequences of HBV (2811–611) for identifying the spliced accept and donor site(s) of each read, according to which the reads were then classified into a number of species of spHBV variants. Only the species of spHBV that had a proportion of at least 0.01% among the total reads were calculated for analyzing the distribution of the spHBV variants.
