Ampure xp medium kit

Manufactured by Beckman Coulter

The AMPure XP-Medium kit is a reagent kit used for the purification of nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, from various sample types. The kit utilizes carboxylate-coated magnetic beads to selectively bind and capture nucleic acids, allowing for efficient removal of contaminants and unwanted molecules. This process facilitates the isolation and concentration of the target nucleic acids for downstream applications.

DNA samples were first tested for concentration and integrity, and only samples that passed this test were used for library preparation, and then genomic DNA wsa randomly fragmented by sonication using the Covaris method. Subsequently, genomic DNA fragments with an average length of 200 to 400 base pairs were isolated using the agencourt AMPure XP-Medium kit. The selected genomic DNA fragments were end-repaired and 3′ adenylated, and then ligated to the adenylated fragments. The ligated DNA product was amplified by PCR and purified using the agencourt AMPure XP-Medium kit. After thermal denaturation (95 °C, 1 min), the purified PCR product was cyclized using the ligated oligonucleotide sequence to yield single-stranded circular DNA (ssCir DNA). This ssCir DNA constituted the final library and was rigorously characterized by quality control procedures. Libraries meeting quality standards were sequenced using the MGISEQ-2000 sequencer. ssCir DNA molecules were circularly replicated to form a DNA nanoball (DNB) containing more than 300 replicate copies. These DNPs were then loaded onto patterned nano-arrays using advanced high-density DNA nano-chip technology. Ultimately, 150 base pair reads were generated from the other end of the ssCir DNA using the combinatorial probe anchor synthesis (cPAS) method.

After extraction of the genomic DNA, we generate random fragments of the genomic DNA by using ultrasonicator (Covaris). Then, the genomic DNA fragments with an average size of 200–400 bp were obtained with Agencourt AMPure XP-Medium kit. Selected fragments of genomic DNA were end repaired and 3′ adenylated, followed by adaptor ligation to the ends of these 3′ adenylated fragments. The ligation DNA products were amplified by PCR and purified by the Agencourt AMPure XP-Medium kit. The purified PCR products were denatured to single strand DNA by heating, and circularised by the splint oligo sequence. The single strand circle DNA (ssCir DNA) were regarded as the final library and qualified by QC. We sequenced the final qualified libraries by using MGISEQ-2000 sequencer. An ssCir DNA molecule formed a DNA nanoball (DNB), which contains more than 300 copies by rolling-cycle replication. We loaded the DNBs into the patterned nanoarray by using high density DNA nanochip technology. In the end, we obtained pair-end 150 bp reads by using combinatorial Probe-Anchor Synthesis (cPAS).

Whole-exome sequencing was performed by the Beijing Genomics Institute. Genomic DNA (1 μg) was first randomly fragmented by Covaris. Fragmented DNA was selected by an Agencourt AMPure XP-Medium Kit to an average size of 200 to 400 bp. The selected fragments were end-repaired, 3′-adenylated, adapter-ligated, and PCR-amplified and the products were recovered using the AxyPrep Mag PCR Clean-Up Kit. The PCR products were hybridized with Agilent Hybridization and Wash Kits. After that, the AxyPrep Mag PCR Clean-Up Kit was used to recover the products as before. The double-stranded PCR products were heat-denatured and circularized by the splint oligo sequence, forming the final library of single-stranded circular DNA. The library was amplified to make DNA nanoballs (DNBs). The DNBs were loaded into the patterned nanoarray and paired-end 100 base reads were generated by sequencing with combinatorial probe–anchor synthesis on the DNBseq platform.

Genomic DNA was extracted from whole blood obtained from the patients and any participating family members. DNA samples were randomly disrupted by the ultrasonic high-performance sample processing system (Covaris).

All samples were prepared for the metagenomic shotgun sequencing according to previous protocols [6 (link)]. Briefly, total genomic DNA was extracted using QIAamp DNA Microbiome Kit (Qiagen, USA). After DNA extraction, 1 µg genomic DNA was randomly fragmented by Covaris, followed by purification by AxyPrep Mag PCR clean-up kit. The fragmented DNA was selected by Agencourt AMPure XP Medium kit to an average size of 200–400 bp. The fragments were end-repaired by End Repair Mix and purified afterward. The repaired DNAs were combined with A-Tailing Mix. Then the Illumina adaptors were ligated to the Adenylate 3’Ends DNA and followed by purification. The products were selected based on the insert size. Several rounds of PCR amplification with PCR Primer Cocktail and PCR Master Mix were performed to enrich the Adapter-ligated DNA fragments. After purification, the library was qualified by the Agilent 2100 bioanalyzer (Agilent, USA) and ABI StepOnePlus Real-time PCR System. Finally, the qualified libraries were sequenced on the Illumina Hiseq platform (BGI-Shenzhen, China).

Genomic DNA was isolated from venous blood according to a previously described standard protocol [56 (link)] with slight modifications [57 (link)] and prepared according to the requirements of the WGS service provider (BGI Genomics, Hong Kong). All samples passed quality control measures stipulated by BGI Genomics.

ChIP and qChIP assays were performed using MCF-7 cells as described previously39 (link). Briefly, 1 × 107 cells were crosslinked with 1% formaldehyde, sonicated, precleared, and incubated with 2–3 μg of primary antibody against normal rabbit IgG (control), GATA3, or UTX. The complex was washed with low-salt and high-salt buffers and then DNA was extracted for qChIP and ChIP-seq assays. The primers used for qChIP are listed in Supplementary File 3. For ChIP-seq, quantified 10 ng of DNA was resolved using an Agilent Technologies 2100 Bioanalyzer and 50–250-bp fractions were extracted, and the fractions were then subject to end-repair and 3ʹ-adenylation. Adapter-ligated libraries were amplified, purified, and selected using an Agencourt AMPure XP-Medium kit, and the final library was composed of single-stranded circular DNAs. In-depth whole-genome DNA sequencing was performed by CapitalBio Corporation (Beijing, China). Sequencing data acquired from the Illumina analysis pipeline were compared with the unmasked human reference genome hg19 (UCSC GRCh37) by using ELAND (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA). The peaks were called using Model-based Analysis of ChIP-Seq (MACS) after filtering through the input. ChIPseeker was used to analyze genomic distribution of GATA3 or UTX binding sites.

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.
