ddRAD Library Preparation and Sequencing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genomic DNA was extracted from young leaves of a single plant for each inbred line. ddRAD libraries for all inbred lines were constructed as previously described [21 (link)]. Briefly, 200 ng genomic DNA was digested with SacI and MseI. Restriction fragments for each individual were then ligated to the SacAD and MseAD adaptors with unique barcodes. The final ligates of 12 individuals were pooled to form a library and separated on a 2% agarose gel. Fragments in a size range between 220 and 500 bp, which corresponded to restriction fragments in a size range of 140–420 bp before adaptor ligation, were recovered from the gel and purified with a Qiagen gel purification kit (Qiagen Inc., Valenica, CA, USA). The pooled libraries were amplified and PCR products were separated on a 2% agarose gel. Fragments in a size range of 270–550 bp were purified with a Qiagen gel purification kit and submitted for sequencing on a HiSeq2000 platform with paired-end (PE) reads of 90 bp.

Mutagenesis of Epitope-Tagged Receptor

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mutagenesis and C-terminal deletions were generated in a cMyc epitope tagged receptor that displays the same pharmacological properties as the wildtype receptor and the construct utilised for purification studies. The desired mutations were introduced into the CTR in the pEF5/FRT/V5-DEST destination vector (Invitrogen) using oligonucleotides for site-directed mutagenesis purchased from GeneWorks (Hindmarsh, SA, Australia) and the QuikChange™ site-directed mutagenesis kit (Stratagene). C-terminal deletions were generated using primers designed to amplify the CTR from the N-terminus to the various points within the C-terminus via standard PCR methods. PCR products were purified using a Qiagen gel purification kit following the manufacturers protocol. The primers for PCR contained sequences that incorporated sites into the PCR products for recombination into the destination vector pEF5/FRT/V5-DEST via Gateway technology. Sequences of receptor clones were confirmed by automated sequencing at the Australian Genome Research Facility.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The PVT1 exon 9 fragment was synthesized by IDT (USA) and the dsDNA was reconstituted and amplified with polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The forward primer contained HindIII, and reverse primer contained BamHI restriction site. The PCR was performed as follows: initial denaturation of DNA at 98 °C for 30 s, an amplification program consisting of 30 cycles at 98 °C for 10 s, 55 °C for 30 s, and 72 °C for 30 s and the final extension of 1 cycle at 72 °C for 10 min. PCR product was resolved by gel electrophoresis on a 1.8% agarose gel in Tris–acetate buffer (1×). The PCR product was purified with a gel purification kit (Qiagen, Hilbert, Germany) and digested with HindIII and BamHI restriction endonucleases. The resulting gene fragment was purified and ligated into pcDNA3.1(+) vector (Addgene, Cambridge, MA, USA) digested with the same enzymes. The ligation mixture was transformed into E. coli JM109 competent cells as described by Sambrook et al. [20 ] and the recombinant plasmid was confirmed by restriction digestion by HindIII and BamHI, colony PCR as well as by sequencing. For stable cell line selection, prostate epithelial cell line (RWPE1) transfected with PVT1 exon 9 or empty pcDNA3.1 vector was grown in the presence of geneticin (Gibco, Gaithersburg, MD, USA) at a concentration of 100 μg/mL for two weeks.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
GIPZ human Cnot3 shRNAs were purchased from Open Biosystems. After verification of knockdown efficiencies of all hairpins, those with greatest efficiencies were used for the generation of pHAGE-Mir vector-based constitutive or inducible shRNA plasmids. For constitutive shRNA plasmids, both GIPZ-shCnot3 and pHAGE-Mir-Phes were digested by EcoRI and ApaI. For inducible plasmids, both GIPZ-shCnot3 and pHAGE-Mir-Phes were digested by EcoRI and MluI. The digested products were extracted and purified by a Gel purification kit (Qiagen). Then, the purified Cnot3 shRNA and Phage-Mir vector was ligated at a ratio of 3:1 with the T4 ligation system at 16 °C overnight. Afterwards, the ligation product was transformed, and amplified for the use in the future.
To generate Cnot3 overexpression plasmids, the coding region of human Cnot3 was amplified by RT-PCR and cloned into pHAGE-EF1α or pHAGE-Inducible destination expression vectors using Gateway cloning. The cloned human Cnot3 fragment was sequenced, and the expression of Cnot3 was verified in subsequent experiments.

An equal molar amount of template oligo is added and the two strands are annealed by incubating at 95°C for 5 minutes followed by gradual cooling in 10°C steps for 5 minutes at each step in a thermal cycler (MJ Mini™ Personal Cycler, Part # PTC1148EDU, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc.). The annealed EC42 template is then purified on a 12% native PAGE in 0.5X TBE by a crush and soak method. The purified DNA is re-suspended in a volume of 20 μL 1/10th TE. This is done to maintain high concentrations of both DNA’s prior to ligation.

A two fold molar excess of annealed EC42 (5 – 10 μg) with phosphorylated template strand is mixed with fluorescently labeled 601 nucleosomal DNA construct and ligated overnight in 2.5 μL ligation buffer and 20 Units of T4 DNA ligase (Promega) at 15°C.

The template is gel purified on a 2% agarose gel in 1.5X TAE using a gel purification kit (Qiagen). The transcription template is eluted in TE 8.0 (20 – 30 μL) and quantified by nanodrop.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The sequencing of the four coding exons of APOE was undertaken using a five amplicon design, with Exons 1 through 3 amplified as a single amplicon and Exon 4 split in two overlapping amplicons. Exons were amplified via PCR using GoTaq DNA polymerase, 200μM of each dNTP, 1.5 mM MgCl2 and primers specific for each exon (Table 1). Thermocycler conditions included an initial denaturation step at 95°C for 2 min, followed by 35 cycles of: 94°C for 30 s, annealing temperature (Table 1) for 30 s and 72°C for 30 s. Finally, at the end of the 35 cycles a 7-min adenylation step was undertaken. To remove impurities, unpurified PCR sample templates were cleaned by Solid Phase Reversible Immobilization (SPRI), which utilized paramagnetic beads. The second part of the Exon 4 required the band to be gel purified using the Qiagen gel purification kit. Samples were quantified by gel electrophoresis against a DNA ladder of known concentration. Purified DNA fragments were then sequenced using the Big Dye version 3.1 chemistry (Applied Biosystems) and post-cleaned using SPRI. Fragments were separated on a 3730xI DNA Analyzer, using a 96-capillary array (Applied Biosystems) at the Australian Genome Research Facility (Perth, Australia).

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.
