Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genotyping of the full protease gene and partial reverse transcriptase regions of the HIV-1 pol gene was done using a modified and validated in-house method22 (link) at the MRC/UVRI and LSHTM laboratory, which is a WHO HIVResNet-designated reference laboratory for HIVDR genotyping. The 1300 bp segment of the 5′ region of the pol gene was generated by RT–PCR, followed by nested PCR using total nucleic acid extracted from DBS or plasma. The fragment was purified, sequenced using a BigDye Terminator v3.1 cycle sequencing kit (Life Technologies, Foster City, CA, USA) and analysed on an ABI Prism 3500 Genetic Analyzer (Life Technologies). A combination of the Sequencher software (Sequencher® v5.4.1 sequence analysis software, Gene Codes Corporation, Ann Arbor, MI, USA) and a customized RECall software program23 (link) was used to edit the raw sequence data and generate consensus sequences. DRMs were analysed using the Stanford HIVdb program according to the 2009 WHO mutation list.24 (link) For quality control purposes, our laboratory is enrolled in the Virology Quality Assurance programme funded by the National Institutes of Health located in Baltimore, MD, USA. All sequences generated in the laboratory are assessed for cross-contamination by phylogenetic analysis. Sequences from this study were deposited in GenBank under accession numbers MN625980–6330.

All patients were informed in person and their written consent was obtained. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood leucocytes using the QIAamp DNA Blood Mini QIAcube Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany), according to the manufacturer’s protocols. All coding exons and exon-intron boundaries of seven genes that were associated with MODY (
KCNJ11, ABCC8, INS, GCK, HNF4A, HNF1A, HNF1B) were amplified using the Multiplicom MODY MasterDx (Agilent, CA, USA) kit. Prepared library was sequenced on the Illumina Miseq platform (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA, USA). The data were analyzed by the Sophia DDM data analysis software. In order to call variants, sequencing data was aligned to human reference genome, hg19. After amplifying targeted regions using designed primers, Sanger sequencing on ABI Prism 3500 Genetic Analyzer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA USA) was performed for the confirmation of the detected variants and segregation analysis. Novel variations were classified according to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics criteria (

Ovine Tissue RNA Extraction and RT-PCR Analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA from each tissue was extracted using TRIzol (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) or TRIsure reagent (Bioline, Luckenwalde, Germany). Total RNA of ovine testis and adrenal was purchased from Zyagnen (San Diego, CA, USA). RT-PCR was performed as described [24 (link),25 (link),26 (link)]. The cDNA was synthesized from total RNA of each tissue using random hexamers and SuperScript III Reverse Transcriptase (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). PCR was performed using Ex Taq (Takara Bio Inc., Shiga, Japan), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The reaction products of the RT-PCR assay were subjected to electrophoresis in a 1.25% agar gel, and the resulting bands were visualized by staining with ethidium bromide. The primers used for PCR are described in Table S1. To identify the ORF of ovine HSD17B3, the PCR product obtained using testis cDNA as template was cloned into the pGEM-T Easy Vector (Promega Cooperation, Madison, Woods Hollow Road Madison, WI, USA) and sequenced on an ABI PRISM 3500 Genetic Analyzer with a Big-Dye Sequencing Kit version 3.1 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), using universal primers (SP6 and T7).

Mutations were introduced by PCR using expression plasmid pET15b‐laao/mog as a template and the QuikChange kit (Stratagene, La Jolla, CA, USA) using primers P1 to P10 (Table S1). For site‐directed mutagenesis, both a direct and a reverse primer were designed complementary to opposite strands of the same DNA region. The mutated genes were completely sequenced using an ABI PRISM 3500 genetic analyzer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) to ensure that only the desired mutations were introduced. Each colony was cultivated in a 96‐well plate, and crude extracts were prepared using BugBuster reagent (Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA).
Random mutagenesis was introduced using primers P11 and P12 (Table S1), in which target amino acid positions were replaced with a degenerate codon, NNS (N = ATGC, S = GC). Each colony was cultivated in a 96‐well plate, and crude extracts were prepared using BugBuster reagent (Merck Millipore). We screened 384 colonies (4 plates), and the library size was more than 10 times larger than the number of possible 32 cases by the NNS codon.

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.
