Dna shearing system

Manufactured by Covaris

The DNA shearing system is a laboratory instrument designed to fragment DNA molecules into smaller, more manageable pieces. The system utilizes focused acoustic energy to mechanically disrupt the DNA, enabling the generation of fragments with controlled size ranges. This core function is achieved through the device's specialized components and software-driven operation.

Whole Genome Sequencing of Japanese Black Cattle

Genomic DNA was sheared using a DNA shearing system (Covaris, Cat. #S220) prior to library preparation. Genomic DNA (200 ng) from six Japanese Black cattle (one wild/wild homozygote and five CNVR_221/CNVR_221 homozygotes) was used to generate sequence libraries, which were prepared using TruSeq Nano DNA library prep kit (Illumina, Cat. #20015964) and IDT for Illumina TruSeq DNA UD Indexes (Illumina, Cat. # 20020590) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The sequence data were generated as 2 × 101 bp reads using the NovaSeq 6000 SP Reagent Kit (Illumina, Cat. # 20027465) and Novaseq6000, and processing and base calling were performed using Illumina Real-Time Analysis 3.
The sequence reads (fastq file) for each animal were aligned to ARS-UCD1.2 genome assembly [42 ] using bwa-0.7.17 [45 (link)]. The bam files were created using Samtools [46 (link), 47 (link)], and duplicate reads were removed using Picard [48 ]. The realignment around indels and recalibration were performed using GATK-4.0.12.0 [49 ]. SNPs and indels were called using Haplotype caller by GATK. The data from the WGS were deposited in the Wagyu genome database (WGDB) of the Japan Livestock Technology Association (Yushima, Bunyouku, Tokyo 113–0034, Japan) and were managed by the WGDB consortium.

Exon Capture and Sequencing Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Following DNA extraction, 3 μg of each sample DNA was sheared to 150–200 bp using the Covaris DNA Shearing System. To capture the exonic DNA, we used the SureSelectXT Human All Exon V4 or V5 capture library (Agilent) for 50 Mb of exonic regions. The sequence library was constructed with the SureSelect XT Target Enrichment System for Illumina Paired-End Sequencing Library kit (Agilent) according to the manufacturer's instructions. We performed DNA sequencing of 100 or 101-bp paired-end reads using the Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencer.

Genome Resequencing of Evolved Microbes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The genomes of the ancestor R0 and the evolved cell population R7 were resequenced using a next-generation sequencer (Junior, Roche). Genomic DNA was purified with a Wizard Genomic DNA Purification kit (Promega) and fragmented using a DNA shearing system (Covaris), according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Whole-genome shotgun sequencing by the 454 GS Junior platform (Roche) was performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The sequence reads were assembled using Newbler 2.7 and aligned using the GS Reference Mapper software (ver. 2.6; Roche). Approximately 99% of the reads in each dataset (DRA003743, DDBJ) were uniquely mapped to the MDS42 genome (AP012306, DDBJ). The mutations were analyzed using the GS Reference Mapper software. The candidate mutations were further determined by Sanger methods of the genome samples subjected to a resequencing analysis using a genetic analyzer (ABI PRISM 3100, Applied Biosystems). Sequencing was performed to both the purified genomes and the cell pellets of these populations. In addition, the cell populations (R0–R7) acquired in the experiments of growth curves were repeatedly sequenced for further verification.

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.
