Standardized Anthrax Genotyping via MLVA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MLVA is a standard tool for B. anthracis genotyping [10 (link)]. Since most of the long and highly-repetitive VNTRs cannot not be determined by whole genome sequencing, lengths of amplified repetitive regions were analyzed by DNA-fragment-length analysis supported in part by Sanger sequencing, allowing for the calculation of repeat numbers or definite base-sequence, respectively. Fragment lengths of fluorescently labeled amplicons covering the whole VNTR locus were measured by capillary gel electrophoresis. In order to amplify the 31 different VNTR loci five conventional multiplex PCRs were carried out as described previously [40 (link),41 (link),42 (link)] with minor changes in primer concentrations.
PCR products were diluted 1:10 in water. A volume of 2 μl of each dilution and 0.5 μl of size standard Genescan 1200 LIZ (Applied Biosystems) were added to 17.5 μl Hi-Di Formamide (Applied Biosystems) and incubated at 95°C for 5 min to denature DNA. Fragment lengths were analyzed on the 3130 Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems) and the associated GeneMapper software.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Capillary sequencer-based PCR ribotyping was performed as described by Indra et al.44 (link). Generally, primers 16S-F (5′-GTGCGGCTGGATCACCTCCT-3′) and 23S-R (5′-CCCTGCACCCTTAATAACTTGACC-3′) were used for amplification, with 16S primer labeled at the 5′ end with carboxyfluorescein (FAM). The PCR product was diluted 1:10 in water before loading. Fragment separation was performed on an ABI 3730 sequencer (Applied Biosystems, Carlsbad, USA) with a 50 cm POP 7 gel. Sample injection was at 1.6 kV over 15 seconds, with a total running time of 6200 seconds. A GeneScan™ 1200 LIZ (Applied Biosystems) size standard was used as internal marker. The results were analyzed by GeneMarker software (Version2.2.0, SoftGenetics, State College, PA, USA), and queried against WEBRIBO database (https://webribo.ages.at/) for ribotypes. A previously well-characterized PCR ribotype 027 isolate, strain CA2, was used as internal control for PCR ribotyping10 (link).

Mycobacterial MIRU-VNTR Genotyping Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The primer sets proposed by Dauchy et al [10] (link) and Iakhiaeva et al [11] (link) were used, except MIRU 3, which was not amplified in this study. PCR mixtures were prepared using 10 μL of AmpliTaq Gold 360 master mix (Applied Biosystems), 10 ng of template DNA, and 4–7.5 μM of primers (Table 2). The PCR conditions were as follows: 5 minutes at 94°C, followed by 30 cycles at 94°C for 30 seconds, 58°C for 30 seconds, 72°C for 1 minute, with a final extension step at 72°C for 7 minutes.
The size of amplified products was analyzed on ABI 3730XL DNA analyzer (Applied Biosystems). GeneScan 1200 LIZ (Applied Biosystems) was used for fragment analysis.

Profiling SNR lengths via fragment analysis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Because of intrinsic technical-limitations of Ion Torrent technology the results of whole genome sequencing cannot be used for analysis of the highly mutable long homopolymeric regions. Therefore, fragment length analysis was employed to determine SNR lengths [13 (link)] (Table 2). Each of the four SNR-loci (HM1, 2, 6 or 13) were analyzed in single- or multi-plex PCR reactions. PCR products were diluted, denatured and run on the 3130 Genetic Analyzer (Applied Biosystems) with size standard Genescan 1200 LIZ (Applied Biosystems) using the associated GeneMapper software.

MLVA Genotyping of B. anthracis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The MLVA was performed essentially as described in [16 (link)]. Briefly, amplification of the fragments of 31 marker-loci was performed in 7 multiplex-PCRs (the origins of the best matches to the Finnish B. anthracis isolates are listed in Additional file 2). The fragment-mixtures were analyzed on a Genetic Analyzer (ABI 3130, Applied Biosystems, Germany) using either MegaBACE TMET (GE Healthcare, Germany), Genescan 1200 LIZ (Applied Biosystems, USA) or MapMarkerH 1000 (BioVentures, USA) as size standards. The data were analyzed with GeneMapper TM software (Applied Biosystems, USA). The raw data of fragment lengths were normalized by codes, reflecting the actual copy numbers of the repeat sequences where possible.

Screening Wheat Lines for Stem Rust Resistance

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA was extracted from single wheat seedlings using the CTAB extraction method (Doyle and Doyle, 1990 ). All 256 lines were screened with published markers for 11 stem rust resistance genes using the published PCR protocols (Supplementary Table 2). Fluorescently labeled primers allowed sequence-based fragment detection on an ABI3730xl capillary instrument (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) applied at the Central Analytical Facility of Stellenbosch University, South Africa. GeneScan™ 500 LIZ® or GeneScan™ 1200 LIZ® (Applied Biosystems) was used as an internal size standard. Data were analyzed using GeneMapper v4.0 (Thermofischer, formally Applied Biosystems). A stem rust resistance gene was called as present if the marker-allele at all markers associated with the Sr gene were the same as the control line. Controls for known stem rust resistance genes and gene complexes included: Cranbrook (Sr2), Sr22B (Sr22), Palmiet (Sr2, Sr24), Avocet S (Sr26), Federation*4/Kavkaz (Sr31), RL5405 (Sr33), Mq12/5*G2191_Rsr35 (Sr35), SrTt1Sr36 (Sr36), RL6082 (Sr39/Lr35), Kariega (Lr34/Yr18/Sr57) and Pavon 76 (Lr46/Yr29/Sr58).

MLVA was done as described previously [24 (link)]. Briefly, amplification of the fragments of 31 marker-loci was performed in seven multiplex-PCRs. The fragment mixtures were analyzed on a Genetic Analyzer (ABI 3130, Applied Biosystems, Darmstadt, Germany) using either MegaBACE TMET (GE Healthcare, Solingen, Germany), Genescan 1200 LIZ (Applied Biosystems Darmstadt, Germany) or MapMarkerH 1000 (BioVentures, Murfreesboro, TN, USA) as size standards. The data were analyzed with GeneMapper TM software (Applied Biosystems, Darmstadt, Germany). The raw data of fragment lengths were normalized by codes, reflecting the actual copy numbers of the repeat sequences where possible. MLVA data analysis was performed using cluster analysis of categorical coefficients. Herein, a similarity tree based on the unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) method was computed in BioNumerics 6.6 (Applied Maths, Sint-Martens-Latem, Belgium) and manually edited (using Powerpoint, Microsoft) for style.
