Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genomic DNA was isolated using DNeasy Blood & Tissue (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) and DNA concentrations were measured using a NanoDrop™ One/OneC Microvolume UV-Vis Spectrophotometer (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). Primers were designed to anneal around the Cas9 cutting site within the BRCA1 gene. To detect small indel variations, a short sequence around the Cas9 cutting site was amplified, while to detect larger variations a longer fragment was amplified (Table 3)
For PCR, GoTaq® Flexi Polymerase (Promega, Walldorf, Germany) with the Green GoTaq® Flexi Reaction Buffer supplemented with 5 mM MgCl2, 200 µM dNTPs, 100 pmol/µL forward and reverse primer, and 100 ng genomic DNA as template was used. PCR was performed using a Primus 25 advanced® Thermocycler with the following conditions: Initial denaturation (95 °C for 2 min) followed by 35 cycles of denaturation (95 °C for 30 s), annealing (54 °C for 30 s) and extension (72 °C for 50 s), ending with a final extension (72 °C for 10 min). Fragments were then loaded on to a 2% agarose gel, run for 30 min at 120 V, and stained with ethidium bromide, or analyzed by BioAnalyzer 2100 Expert (B.02.08.SI648) using DNA 7500 chips (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA).

DNA isolation from oral mucosal swabs was carried out using professional disposable swabs. Sampling took place approximately 2 hours after a meal or while fasting. In addition, the test subjects were not allowed to smoke cigarettes or chew gum for approximately 2 hours as well.
The polymorphism of the gene encoding the serotonin transporter 5-HTTLPR (SLC6A4) was determined from isolated DNA. Its homozygous variants of short/short or long/long alleles and heterozygous short/long alleles were analysed in the study.
DNA from buccal swabs was extracted by GeneMATRIX Bio-Trace DNA Purification Kit (EurX) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Genotyping of 5-HTT LPR was performed utilizing PCR-based method following by fragment analysis in a capillary electrophoresis sequencer ABI3130 (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The PCR reactions consisted of 15 ng of total DNA, 15 pmol of each primer (forward: 5’-6FAM-ATGCCAGCACCTAACCCCTAATGT-3’ and reverse: 5’-GGACCGCAAGGTGGGCGGGA-3’), 1 U of Go Taq Flexi polymerase, 1x PCR Buffer, 0,2 mM dNTP, 1,5 mM MgCl2 (Promega) and milli-Q water to a total volume of 20μL. The thermal profile composed of: 10 min at 94°C and 35 cycles of the following steps: denaturation 94°C, 1 min, annealing 66°C, 1 min, and extension 72°C, 1 min. The results of genotyping were analysed using GeneMapper v3.2 software.

ISSR PCR Amplification for Genetic Studies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For ISSR PCR amplification [38 (link),39 (link)], a set of 15 ISSR primers were applied against the 9 treatments. The PCR was carried out in a total volume of 25 μl containing the following components: 25 ng genomic DNA; 1X PCR buffer; 1.5 mM MgCl2; 0.25 mM of each dNTPs; 1 μM of each primer; 1 U Go-Taq Flexi polymerase (Promega).
Thermocycling amplification was performed with a GeneAmp PCR system 9700 (Applied Biosystem, Inc.). The amplification was programmed at 94°C for 5 min for the initial denaturation cycle, followed by 35 cycles with each cycle comprising 94°C for 1 min, 50°C for 1 min, then 72°C for 90 s; and a final extension at 72°C for 7 min. The produced PCR amplicons were electrophoresed using 1.5% agarose gel. A 100 bp plus DNA ladder and 1 kb were used as molecular size standards. PCR products were photographed using a Gel Doc™ XR+ System (Bio-Rad®).

PCR Screening of Xanthomonas Copper Resistance

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Fifty‐one and 27 X. citri pv. citri isolates collected in grove 1 and grove 2, respectively, were assayed for the presence of copL by PCR amplification from boiled bacterial suspensions. PCRs were mostly performed as reported previously (Behlau, Hong, Jones, & Graham, 2013). However, we used GoTaq Flexi Polymerase (Promega, Charbonnières‐les‐Bains, France), decreased the primer concentration (5 pmol/μl), and set the annealing temperature at 66°C. PCR amplification, using copA and copB primers, was also performed on a subset of samples with GoTaq Flexi Polymerase and the other conditions reported above. The copper‐resistant X. citri pv. citri strain LH201 was used as a positive control in each experiment (Richard et al., 2017).

Four primers were designed to amplify segments that encompass the two breakpoints of the inversion based on the Bos_taurus_UMD_3.1/bosTau6 assembly (UCSC Genome Browser Gateway) using the Primer3 software [52 (link)]. Details on the PCR primers are in Additional file 3: Table S3. Four independent PCR reactions were performed to amplify the mutant and wild type alleles using the GO-Taq Flexi polymerase (Promega) according to the manufacturer’s instructions on a Mastercycle pro thermocycler (Eppendorf). Aliquots of PCR products were pooled for ethidium bromide-stained 2% agarose gel electrophoresis. The remaining amplicons were purified and sequenced by Eurofins (Eurofins MWG, Ebersberg Germany) using conventional Sanger sequencing.

Total RNA was extracted using the phenol-chloroform method. RNA (2 µg) was used for reverse transcription, as described previously [92 (link)]. VEGF and β-actin cDNA were amplified by traditional PCR using GoTaq flexi polymerase (Promega, Madison, WI, USA). Survivin mRNA levels were assessed by real time PCR using Brilliant II SybrGreen QPCR master mix (Agilent Technologies, Santa Clara, CA, USA). All primers used are described in Supplementary Table S1. β-actin expression was used as invariant control gene. Sterile water instead of cDNA was added as a negative control for the reactions.

Intermediate Leptospira Spp. Assay

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We designed a Leptospira spp. assay to target only intermediate Leptospira spp. We used Primer3 (19 (link)) to design a reverse primer (R Inter: 5′-TCTTTACCTATCARATCYTGTGATCCA-3′) to be used with A or C forward primers; amplicon sizes were 160 bp for A and 143 bp for C. The specificity of this assay was validated with 17 leptospiral DNA samples from reference strains of pathogenic, saprophytic, and intermediate leptospiral species obtained from the Royal Tropical Institute (Table 1). We tested for the intermediate leptospiral genotype in 75 human serum samples from Portoviejo that were real-time PCR positive for Leptospira spp. The real-time PCR amplicons were subjected to a second PCR amplification using R-Inter reverse primer. The total reaction volume of the intermediate-specific real-time PCR assay, using GoTaq Flexi Polymerase (Promega, Madison, WI, USA), was 20 μL; 0.5 μL of the real-time PCR amplicon was used as template for the conventional PCR.

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.
