Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For total RNA isolation from CRC tissues and cell lines, RNeasy mini kits (Zymo Research, Irvine, CA, USA) were used as described previously [31]. RNA was converted into cDNA using Superscript III Reverse Transcriptase (Invitrogen), followed by qPCR using SYBR green and primers synthesized by Integrated DNA Technologies (Coralville, IA, USA) to determine the mRNA expression of TRIP13, COL6A3, TREM2, SHC3, and KLK7 in CRC cells and tissues. β‐Actin was used as a normalizing control. A list of primers used in this study is given in Table S2.

Renin Transcript Quantification via qPCR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
RNA was extracted using the RNeasy Mini Kit (Zymo Research, Freiburg, Germany) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Quality was checked by spectrophotometry (DS-11 + , DeNovix Inc, Wilmington, USA). High Capacity cDNA Kit (Life Technologies, Darmstadt, Germany) was used for reverse transcribing RNA to cDNA, which was stored at −70 °C. For qPCR, cDNA was diluted in nuclease-free water. Duplicates of 20 ng cDNA were mixed either with SYBR® FAST Universal 2X Master Mix containing SYBR green dye (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) or with Blue 5′Green qPCR 2X Mix (Biozym, Hilden, Germany) and optimized primer pairs for the different renin transcripts and the housekeeping gene tyrosine 3-monooxygenase/tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activation protein, zeta (YWHAZ) (Table 1). The threshold cycle number (CT) in combination with the 2−∆CT method was normalized against YWHAZ.

Extended Data Fig. 2 displays a flowchart outlining samples available for this study. Isolates with cycle threshold (Ct) values below 35 were selected for sequencing using the ARTIC v3 low-cost protocol targeting 400bp amplicons30 or Rapid Barcoding kit protocol targeting 1,200bp amplicons31 (link). Briefly, RNA was extracted using the Qiagen RNeasy Mini kit or Zymo DNA/RNA Mini kit. Reverse transcription was performed using LunaScript RT SuperMix (NEB). Tiling PCR was performed on the cDNA, and amplicons were barcoded using the Oxford Nanopore Native Barcoding Expansion 96 kit. Pooled barcoded libraries were then sequenced on an Oxford Nanopore MinION sequencer using R9.4.1 flow cells. Basecalling was performed in the MinKNOW software v21.02.1. Sequencing runs were monitored in real-time using RAMPART (https://artic-network.github.io/rampart/) to ensure sufficient genomic coverage with minimal runtime. Consensus sequence generation was performed using the ARTIC bioinformatics pipeline (https://github.com/artic-network/artic-ncov2019). Genomes were manually curated by visually inspecting sequencing alignment files for verification of key residues in Geneious v10.2.6.

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.
