Pb buffer

Manufactured by Qiagen
Sourced in Germany, United States

PB buffer is a laboratory reagent used in nucleic acid purification protocols. It serves as a binding buffer that facilitates the adsorption of nucleic acids to a solid support, such as a silica-based matrix, during the purification process. The core function of PB buffer is to create the appropriate conditions for the efficient capture and retention of nucleic acids, enabling their subsequent washing and elution.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The on-plate ATAC-seq was modified based on the original ATAC-seq method [23 (link)] with the following modifications. First, 50,000 keratinocytes were seeded on a 96-well plate (Breiner Bio-one, Monroe, North Carolina, USA,  Cat# 675180). After inducing differentiation for 4 days, the cells were washed briefly with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) two times, and permeabilized with lysis buffer (10 mM Tris-Cl pH 7.4, 10 mM NaCl, 3 mM MgCl2, 0.05 % NP-40) for 10 min. After this permeabilization step, the supernatant were removed, and replaced with 50 μL transposase and buffer mix (25 μL TD (2x reaction buffer from Nextera kit, Illumina, San Diego, California, USA), 5 μL TDE1(Tn5 Transposase from Nextera kit, Illumina), 20 μL nuclease-free H2O). After 30 min of incubation at 37 °C, a total volume of 250 μL Buffer PB (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) was mixed with the reaction before DNA purification and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) enrichment. Each replicate of ATAC-seq data used in this study was generated individually using 50,000 keratinocytes growing in each well of a 96-well plate under differentiation conditions.

Tooth powder was obtained in dedicated clean rooms at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville using a freezer mill for 18 individuals and at Harvard Medical School by drilling for 2 individuals. DNA extraction for all samples was performed using a method optimized to retain small DNA fragments either manually47 (link),48 (link) or with an automated liquid handler using silica-coated magnetic beads49 (link). We prepared double-stranded Illumina sequencing libraries, pretreating with the enzyme uracil-DNA glycosylase (UDG) to minimize analytical artifacts due to the characteristic cytosine-to-thymine errors in ancient DNA25 , using an automated liquid handler and substituting the MinElute columns used for cleaning up reactions with silica-coated magnetic beads and buffer PB (Qiagen), and the MinElute column-based PCR cleanup at the end of library preparation with SPRI beads50 (link),51 (link). We enriched the libraries for sequences that overlapped both mtDNA52 (link) and about 1.24 million nuclear targets for two rounds of enrichment38 (link),53 (link),54 (link), either independently (1240k and MT separately) or together (1240kplus). We sequenced the enriched products on an Illumina NextSeq500 using v.2 150 cycle kits for 2 × 76 cycles and 2 × 7 cycles to read the indices. Skeletal material from all 20 ancient individuals screened for this project yielded usable DNA data.

The oligonucleotides listed in the Supplementary Sequences were obtained from IDT. Complementary sequences were combined (5 μL of a 100 μM solution) in Tris buffer and annealed by heating to 95 °C for 5 min, followed by a gradual cooling to 45 °C at a rate of 0.1 °C/s to generate 60-bp dsDNA substrates. Purified fusion protein (20 μL of 1.9 μM in activity buffer) was combined with 1 equivalent of appropriate sgRNA and incubated at ambient temperature for 5 min. The 60-mer dsDNA substrate was added to final concentration of 125 nM and the resulting solution was incubated at 37 °C for 2 h. The dsDNA was separated from the fusion by the addition of Buffer PB (100 μL, Qiagen) and isopropanol (25 μL) and purified on a EconoSpin micro spin column (Epoch Life Science), eluting with 20 μL of Tris buffer. The resulting edited DNA (1 μL was used as a template) was amplified by PCR using the HTS primer pairs specified in the Supplementary Sequences and VeraSeq Ultra (Enzymatics) according to the manufacturer's instructions with 13 cycles of amplification. PCR reaction products were purified using RapidTips (Diffinity Genomics), and the purified DNA was amplified by PCR with primers containing sequencing adapters, purified, and sequenced on a MiSeq high-throughput DNA sequencer (Illumina) as previously described.32

Following one-pot DNA cleavage, the 50 µL reaction mixture was transferred into a 1.7 mL centrifuge tube. Next, 250 µL of buffer PB (Qiagen) was added to the mixture and after complete mixing, the solution was transferred into a Zymo-Spin I column (Zymo Research, CA) and centrifuged at 21,000 × g for 30 sec. The centrifuge flow-through was discarded and 400 µL of buffer PE (Qiagen) was added to the column. After centrifugation and discarding the flow-though, the PE buffer wash step was repeated one more time. The column was then transferred into a clean 1.7 mL centrifuge tube and 10 µL of ddH2O was directly added to the column matrix. To ensure maximum elution of cleavage products, the column was placed at room temperature for at least 5 min. Next, the column was centrifuged to acquire the purified cleavage products.
