Chromatin Immunoprecipitation and DNA Methylation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HCC827 and A549 cells were fixed with 1% formaldehyde. Chromatin was prepared by sonication of cell lysate and preclearing with protein A beads. Aliquots of precleared chromatin solution, named IP fractions, were incubated with 2 μg of specific antibody or preimmune rabbit IgG on a rotation platform at 4 °C overnight. One percent of the IP fraction served as the ChIP input control. The antibody-enriched protein-DNA complexes were precipitated with protein A beads from the IP fractions. DNA fragments were released by reverse crosslinking and purified by using a QIAquick purification kit (QIAGEN, Valencia CA, USA). Immunoprecipitated DNA fractions were analyzed by qPCR.
Genomic DNA was extracted from HCC827 and A549 cells and prepared by sonication. The sonicated DNA was then immunoprecipitated with a monoclonal antibody against 5-methylcytidine (5mC) at 4 °C overnight. A portion of the sonicated DNA was left untreated to serve as an input control. DNA fragments were released by reverse crosslinking and purified by using a QIAquick purification kit (QIAGEN, Valencia CA, USA). Immunoprecipitated DNA fractions were analyzed by qPCR.

Labeling and Hybridizing DNA Microarray

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA was labeled with Dye Cy-5 by a random priming method as previously described (Yang et al., 2017 (link)) and the labeled DNA was purified with QIA quick purification kits (Qiagen, Valencia, CA, United States). SpeedVac (ThermoSavant, Milford, MA, United States) was used to dry DNA at 45°C for 45 min. We hybridized DNA with GeoChip 4.0 on a MAUI hybridization station (BioMicro, Salt Lake City, UT, United States) at 42°C for 16 h, as described previously (Yue et al., 2015 (link)). The slides were scanned using a NimbleGen MS200 scanner (Roche, Madison, WI, United States) at 633 nm using 100% laser power and 75% photomultiplier tube gain. Signal intensities were quantified by scanned images.

Yeast DNA Extraction and ITS Sequencing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genomic DNA was extracted from purified yeast cells using the method described by Looke et al. [12 (link)] with some modifications. The universal primers, ITS1 (5′-TCCGTAGGTGAACCTGCG-3′) and ITS4 (5′-TCCTCCGCTTATTGATATGC-3′), were used to amplify the ITS regions of the selected species [13 (link)]. PCR amplification was conducted in a total reaction mixture volume of 25 mL using 1x PCR buffer (DreamTaq™) in a C1000TM Thermo Cycler (Bio-Rad, Germany). PCR products were purified using QIAquick purification kits (QIAGEN, Valencia, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The DNA amplicons were sequenced using the Gene Analyzer 3121 sequencer with the same primers ITS1 and ITS4 (Macrogen Co., Seoul, South Korea). The ITS sequences were analyzed using BioEdit version 7.2.5. A total of 32 isolates, including 18 C. albicans, 11 non-Candida species, and 3 Saccharomyces cerevisiae, were examined. Isolates were identified by comparing the sequencing data against databases using the BLAST of the GenBank database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/). Table 1 shows the GenBank accession numbers of the ITS1 and ITS4 regions of type (or reference) isolates of the 32 species sequenced.

Plastome Sequencing of Two Tropical Tree Species

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Distemonanthus benthamianus is a large, deciduous, wind-dispersed, light-demanding pioneer tree distributed from UG to LG. Anthonotha macrophylla is an evergreen shrub to medium-sized tree, rarely lianescent, non-pioneer, occurring in lower strata of tropical rain forest and in secondary forest, distributed from UG to Congolia (the Eastern part of Central African forest), whose seeds are consumed but possibly also dispersed by monkeys. We sequenced the plastome of 47 georeferenced individuals of each species sampled across their distribution ranges. The samples were composed of field-collected leaves dried in silica gel (18 individuals of A. macrophylla and 47 of D. benthamianus) and from herbarium specimens (29 individuals of A. macrophylla) collected at the National Herbarium of the Netherlands, Naturalis (WAG) and the Herbarium of the Université Libre de Bruxelles (BRLU) (Table S1 in Appendix S1). Total genomic DNA was extracted for each sample (c. 10 µg) from 20 to 30 mg of dried leaves, using the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) method (Doyle and Doyle, 1987) . Extracted DNA was purified with QIAquick purification kits (Qiagen, Venlo, Netherlands) followed by Qubit ® 2.0 Fluorometer DNA quantification (Life Technologies, Invitrogen, Foster City, USA) and by QIAxcel (Qiagen) DNA quality control.

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.
