For PCR of individual
templates, 800 μL of amplification was performed using 1X Hot
Start Taq 2X Master Mix (New England Biolabs), 0.5 μM each forward
and reverse primer, and 2.5 nM template (see Table S5). The mixture was incubated at 95 °C for 5 min and
then subjected to 12 cycles of 95 °C for 40 s, 50 °C for
40 s, and 68 °C for 40 s.
For preparation of library pools
(L8, L14), a 20 μL extension reaction was first
performed using 1 μM each template primer and reverse primer,
1X KOD Plus buffer (Toyobo), 0.02 U/μL KOD plus DNA polymerase,
0.2 mM dNTPs, and 1.5 mM MgSO4. The mixture was incubated
at 95 °C for 2 min and then subjected to six cycles of 95 °C
for 40 s, 60 °C for 40 s, and 68 °C for 60 s. The entire
extension mix was then amplified in an 800 μL reaction containing
1X Hot Start Taq 2X Master Mix (New England Biolabs), 250 nM FW primer,
and 250 nM reverse primer.
All PCR products were confirmed by
gel electrophoresis (E-Gel,
ThermoFisher Scientific), purified using the MinElute PCR Purification
Kit (Qiagen), and quantified by UV absorbance (NanoDrop).

Thermal cycle conditions were 95 °C for 3 min for the initial denaturing step, followed by 30 cycles of 95 °C for 30 s, 50 °C for 1 min, and 72 °C for 1 min. PCR products were checked on a 2% agarose gel for correct product size formation (approx. 350 bp). The Michigan State University Genomics Core performed library preparation prior to Illumina MiSeq sequencing, following the manufacturer’s guidelines [25 (link)]. Reagent controls using certified DNA free water were run through library preparation and PCR and did not generate libraries.

Prepared reactions were run on a Bio-Rad T100 thermal cycler with the following conditions: 10 min denaturation time at 94°C, followed by 35 amplification cycles of 94°C for 30 s, 54°C for 30 s, and 72°C for 60 s, followed by a final extension at 72°C for 10 min. PCR products were visualized on 2% E-gel agarose gels in an Invitrogen E-gel iBase real-time transilluminator. A Quick-Load 100-bp DNA ladder (New England Biolabs) was used to determine band size. Amplified PCR products of 479 or 249 bp were indicative of An. coluzzii or An. gambiae s.s., respectively. As the dominant species, only An. coluzzii individuals of the same age and resistance phenotype were selected and pooled for 16S rRNA sequencing.

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.
