SNP Genotyping Using TaqMan and KASP

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The SNP genotyping was conducted in the Genomic Epidemiology laboratory at the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), Heidelberg using TaqMan (ABI, Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) and KASP (KBioscence, Hoddesdon, UK) Technologies and TaqMan Genotyping Master Mix (Applied Bioscience) technology, according to the manufacturers’ instructions. All samples were included in a 384-well plate. For quality control, duplicates of 5% of the samples were included. Polymerase chain reaction plates were read on a ViiA7 real time instrument (Applied Biosystems). The ViiA7 RUO Software, version 1.2.2 (Applied Biosystems), was used to determine genotypes. The genotyping concordance between duplicate samples exceeded 99%, and samples with a call rate lower than 75% were discarded from the statistical analysis. rs35226131 was monomorphic in our population, therefore it was not included in further analyses.

Genotyping DNA Samples from PANDoRA Consortium

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The sample preparation and genotyping process were conducted at a single laboratory at German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg, Germany. DNA extraction from the whole blood of both cases and controls within the PANDoRA consortium was carried out using a Qiagen-manufactured kit (Hilden, Germany). To ensure uniformity, the order of DNA samples from case and control subjects was randomized on plates, guaranteeing an equal representation of cases and controls in each batch. Genotyping was conducted via allele-specific PCR-based TaqMan technology (ThermoFisher, Applied Biosystems, Waltham, MA) by ordering TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assays for the selected seven SNPs. The PCR protocol was performed with TaqMan Genotyping Master Mix in 384-well plates following the manufacturer's recommendations. The PCR plates were read on a ViiA7 real-time instrument (Applied Biosystems), and genotypes were determined using the ViiA7 RUO Software, version 1.2.2 (Applied Biosystems).

Validated miRNA Expression Analysis

miRNA validation was carried out using TaqMan real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR). Reverse transcription (RT) was performed using miRNA-specific stem-loop RT primers and a MicroRNA RT Kit (Life Technologies) following the manufacturer’s instructions. The resulting cDNA was diluted and used immediately for qPCR or stored at −20°C until use. miRNA expression levels were measured by real-time qPCR in a ViiA 7 Real-Time instrument (Life Technologies) using TaqMan® Universal Master Mix (Life Technologies). The miRNA expression levels were normalized to those of cel-miR-39 and determined by the equation 2–ΔCt, where ΔCt=cycle threshold (Ct) (miRNA) – Ct (cel-miR-39).

Quantifying Cardiac Marker Expression in iPSC-CMs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RNA from iPS cell derived cardiomyocytes was isolated using the Ambion Cells-to-Ct Kit (Life Technologies) according to the manufacturer. Cardiomyocytes were dissociated as described above. To quantify the expression of pan-cardiac marker cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and ventricular specific marker myosin light chain 2 (MYL2) during cardiac differentiation, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR) was performed using pre-designed TaqMan assays (S1 Table). QPCR reagents were assembled in 384-well plates using 10 μL Taqman Gene Expression Mastermix, 5 μL of nuclease free water, 1 μL of the Taqman Gene Expression Assay of choice and 4 μL of cDNA. The PCRs were run on a ViiA7 real time instrument (Life Technologies) using the following program: 2 minutes at 50°C, 10 minutes at 95°C, 40 cycles of 95°C for 15 seconds and 1 minute at 60°C. Relative gene expression was calculated with the ΔΔCt method normalizing target gene expression to B2M [24 (link)].

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.
