Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ChIP was performed essentially as described in detail in our previous study [37 (link)]. Briefly, brain tissue dissected from 3 animals was pooled, homogenized, and fixed in PBS with 1% formaldehyde for 10 minutes. Nuclei were prepared from the fixed cells and stored at -80°C until use. Thawed nuclei were sonicated using a BiorupterTM UCD-200 (Diagenode, Liège, Belgium) sonicator, and fragmented chromatin was processed for ChIP with 2 ug histone H3K27Ac antibody per sample (Abcam ab4729), using one million nuclei for each IP. IPs were performed in biological replicate, with one pool of 3 samples in each replicate, as previously described. Libraries were prepared from eluted DNA using KAPA LTP library kits (KK8230) using Bioo Scientific index adapters, size-selected using AmpureXP beads (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA) and quality checked by Qubit 2.0 and Bioanalyzer (Agilent 2100). Samples were sequenced to a depth of 20-30M reads per replicate on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 sequencer using a TruSeq SBS sequencing kit, version 4, in single-end format with fragment length of 100 bp. Base calling and demultiplexing into FASTQ files was done using bcl2fastq v1.8.4 software (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA).

High-Depth Targeted Sequencing Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA libraries were prepared using Agilent SureSelectXT reagents (Agilent Technologies, Inc., Santa Clara, CA, USA) with genomic regions of interest captured by means of an Agilent custom-designed bait set (>600 genes, full coding regions; low coverage of exon 1 in a subset of genes). The libraries were sequenced to an average unique read depth of greater than 500X using Sequencing by Synthesis (SBS) 2 × 100 base pairs (bp) paired-end cluster generation on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform (Illumina, Inc., San Diego, CA, USA). FASTQ files were generated from Binary Cluster Files (.bcl) using the Illumina bcl2fastq v1.8.4 software with parameters set as per vendor’s specifications. FASTQ files were aligned to the human genome reference hg19 (GRCh37) using the Burrows-Wheeler Aligner v0.7.10 algorithm with default settings. BAM files (.bam) were generated using Picard Tools v1.119 and variant calling was performed using in-house variant caller algorithm (MDLVC v5.0) cross referenced with HaplotypeCaller (Genome Analysis Tool Kit 3.3) under discovery mode in the coding regions of target genes. Variants were classified according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) 2015 Standards and Guidelines, and all variant calls were inspected using Integrated Genomics Viewer v2.3.4 (IGV; Broad Institute, MIT Harvard, Cambridge, MA, USA).

Illumina Sequencing Data Preprocessing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All samples were de-multiplexed using Illumina’s bcl2fastq (v1.84) software with default settings for adapter trimming (at least 90% of bases should match) and allowing no mismatch per sequencing bar code (–mismatches 0). Raw Illumina reads were cleared from potential adapter contamination, quality controlled, and, if necessary, trimmed in paired-end mode using BBDuk from the BBMap package version 34.41 (https://sourceforge.net/projects/bbmap/). To pass the quality filter, read quality needed to surpass a Phred score of 20 and achieve a minimal length of 50 bp after trimming of low quality and adapter bases.
Additional data quality control measures were taken: each sample was tested before and after trimming with the FastQC to evaluate per base sequence quality, average base composition, GC content, sequence length distribution and adapter contaminations (http://www.bioinformatics.babraham.ac.uk/projects/fastqc/).

Total RNA from 3 to 5 embryos at the indicated stages were prepared using the RNA Clean & Concentrator Kit (R1019, Zymo Research). cDNA library was constructed with the TruSeq RNA Sample Prep Kit (RS-122-2001, Illumina) and sequenced with the NextSeq 500/550 High Output Kit V2 (FC-404-2005, Illumina). Illumina bcl2fastq (v1.8.4) software was used for base calling. Sequenced reads were trimmed for adaptor sequence, and masked for low-complexity or low-quality sequence. The number of raw reads mapped to genes was calculated by RSEM (rsem-1.2.4), the reference genome using danRer10, then put all the sample results together and normalized by EDAseq (1.99.1), gene expression fold change was calculated using normalized raw reads. The downstream analysis was performed using glbase scripts. Reads were deposited with GEO under the accession number GSE102032.

Illumina HiSeq 2500 Sequencing Data Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Initial image analysis and base calling were performed using RTA v1.18.61 (HCS v2.2.58; Illumina, San Diego, CA) on an Illumina HiSeq 2500. Bcl2fastq v1.8.4 (Illumina, San Diego, CA) was used to demultiplex the data into individual samples based on the indexes used during the library preparation. Since over 90 % of the reads had sequence quality scores over Q33 and the lowest mean quality score per sample (per base) was 27, reads were not trimmed based on quality and the raw sequence data was used for further analysis. As per manufacturer’s recommendations, the first three bases were trimmed from reads derived from the SMART method.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total soil DNA extracts were submitted to the Research Technology Support Facility, Michigan State University for PCR optimization and MiSeq Illumina sequencing analyses. The 16S rRNA gene was amplified from soil genomic DNA samples using Illumina fusion primers as described by Caporaso et al. (2011) (link). PCR output for all samples was normalized using a Life Technologies SequalPrep Normalization plate. The normalized products were pooled. After Ampure clean up, quality control and quantitation pool samples were loaded on a standard v2 MiSeq flow cell and sequenced in a 2×250bp format using custom V4 sequencing and index primers and a MiSeq 500 cycle reagent cartridge (v2). Base calling was done by Illumina Real Time Analysis (RTA) v1.18.54 and output of RTA demultiplexed converted to FastQ with Illumina Bcl2fastq v1.8.4. Amplicon sequence data from the Illumina MiSeq were processed using the mother software package version v. 1.32.0 (Schloss et al. 2009 (link)) and following the standardized operating procedure. Operational taxonomic units (OTUs) were defined at 3% dissimilarity.

Illumina MiSeq Sequencing Data Preprocessing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
BCL2FASTQ v.1.8.4 (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA) was used to convert the base calls into forward, index1, index2 and reverse FASTQ files. In order to obtain more accurate and reliable results in subsequent bioinformatics analysis, the raw data was pre-processed using an in-house procedure as following: 1) Sequence reads not having an average quality of 20 over a 30 bps sliding window based on the phred algorithm were truncated, and trimmed reads having less than 75% of their original length, as well as their paired reads, were removed; 2) Removal of reads contaminated by adapters; 3) Removal of reads with ambiguous bases (N bases), and their paired reads; 4) Removal of reads with low complexity. Paired-end reads were generated using the Illumina MiSeq platform, and the reads with sequencing adapters, N bases, poly-bases, and low quality bases were filtered out using default parameters. If two paired-end reads overlapped with 1) a minimum overlap of 15 bp and 2) a mismatching ratio in the overlapped region <= 0.1, the consensus sequence was generated by FLASH v1.2.11 (Magoč and Salzberg 2011 (link)). Paired-end reads without overlaps were removed.
