Each yeast isolate was recovered from a freezer stock and purely cultured on a yeast, peptone, dextrose (YPD) or Sabouraudthetic dextrose (SD) agar plate for 48–60 hr. Next, a single colony was inoculated to another YPD plate and cultured for 24 hr. Approximately 100 µl of yeast cells were used for DNA isolation using the MasterPure Yeast DNA Purification Kit (Epicenter, Madison, WI) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Alternatively, a single colony was inoculated into 6 ml YPD broth supplemented with 0.5 M NaCl and cultured for 40 hr at 37°, prior to extraction using the MasterPure Yeast DNA Purification Kit (Epicentre) as previously described (Rhodes et al. 2017 (link)).
DNA was sequenced using Illumina technology. For each isolate, a small insert library was constructed and used to generate between 14 and 150 million 101-bp, paired-end reads per isolate, which resulted in 56- to 603-fold average coverage of reads aligned to the H99 genome. In addition, large insert libraries were constructed for 15 isolates (Table S4) and also used to generate 101-bp, paired-end reads. Isolates were sequenced at Imperial College London and the Broad Institute (Table S1).

Yeast cells were washed with sterile water, resuspended in 1 ml of Lysis Solution (MasterPure Yeast DNA Purification kit, Epicentre Biotechnologies, Madison, USA) and disrupted in a mini Bead Beater (Biospec Products, Bartlesville, USA; 5 × 1 min vibrations, using glass beads 0.5 mm diameter). Homogenates were centrifuged at 3000 g for 5 min and supernatants containing DNA were further purified using the MasterPure Yeast DNA Purification kit (Epicentre Biotechnologies) and its quality assessed spectrophotometrically and electrophoretically. DNA was immediately diluted 1:1000 and was further used as the template in qRT-PCR reactions.

Monitoring repair kinetics by qPCR was performed as described previously [50 (link)]. Single colonies were inoculated in 5 ml of media lacking leucine with 2% dextrose and grown overnight at 30°C. Overnight cultures were then diluted into 600 ml of YPLac and grown into log phase. DSBs were induced by adding 20% galactose to a final concentration of 2%. To track the dynamics of DSB repair 50 ml aliquots of each culture was collected every hour over 9 h. DNA was isolated using a MasterPureTM Yeast DNA Purification Kit (Epicentre cat. MPY80200). The repair product, MATa-inc, was amplified using primers MATp13 and MATYp4 with a SYBR Green Master Mix using a Qiagen Rotor-Gene Q real-time PCR machine. To quantify the relative amount of MATa-inc in each sample, SLX4 was used as a reference gene and was amplified using primers NS047-Slx4p7 and Slx4p1. Primer sequences are shown in (S2 Table).

Genomic DNA from the C. albicans strains was isolated by the MasterPureTM Yeast DNA Purification Kit (EPICENTRE). Southern blotting was performed according to standard protocols with the aid of the Rapid Downward Transfer System (TURBOBLOTTERTM) using 10 μg of the restriction enzyme-digested genomic DNA. The probe was generated by the PCR DIG probe synthesis kit (Roche) with a genomic DNA template extracted from BWP17 and a pair of primers, CaCDC7-Probe-F and CaCDC7-Probe-R (Table 2). The DNA on the blot was hybridized with the probe using DIG Easy Hyb (Roche). To reveal the gene deletion, the DIG Luminescent Detection Kit (Roche) was used after hybridization, and the blot was exposed to X-ray film for up to 24 h as appropriate.

To compare the reproducibility of culture-dependent methods, the right lateral side of the nose (parallel to the side from which cultures were derived) was tape stripped 50 times using a D-Squame® standard sampling disks (Cuderm® Cooporation, Dallas, TX, United States). This was performed for four male Singapore subjects, one from each ethnicity. DNA extraction from each tape was performed using the MasterPureTM Yeast DNA purification kit (Epicentre, United States) as per manufacturer’s instructions combined with bead beating with Lysis Matrix E (MP Biomedicals, Singapore) during the lysis step. Species-specific PCR amplification was performed as described (Zhang et al., 2013 (link)).

Genomic DNA Extraction and Barcode PCR

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genomic DNA was purified using Epicenter MasterPureTM Yeast DNA Purification Kit. Next, 100 ng of genomic DNA was used for the PCR amplification, which was conducted in a total of 50 μL using KAPA HiFi HotStart PCR Kit with the following conditions: 95 °C/4 min; 23 cycles of 98 °C/20 s, 65 °C/15 s, 72 °C/15 s; followed by 72 °C/5 min. Barcodes were added to the general primers. For the upstream barcodes the following primers were used: (forward) 5’-NNNNNGATGTCCACGAGGTCTCT-3’ and (reverse) 5’-NNNNNGTCGACCTGCAGCGTACG-3’. For the downstream barcodes the following primers were used: (forward) 5’-NNNNNCGAGCTCGAATTCATCGAT-3’ and (reverse) 5’-NNNNNCGGTGTCGGTCTCGTAG-3’. The PCR product was then purified with Qiagen MinElute 96 UF PCR Purification Kit. Following PCR purification, DNA was quantified with the Invitrogen Quant-iT dsDNA BR Assay Kit and then equal amounts of DNA were pooled.

To isolate DNA and RNA from P. xanthii-infected melon cotyledons, the cotyledons were frozen in liquid nitrogen and stored at −80 °C until use. The frozen cotyledons were ground with a mortar and pestle. Genomic DNA was isolated using the MasterPureTM Yeast DNA Purification Kit (Epicentre Biotechnologies, Madison, WI, USA), and total RNA was extracted using TRI Reagent (Sigma-Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Total RNA was eluted in diethyl pyrocarbonate (DEPC)-treated water and stored at −80 °C until use. The RNA concentration was estimated using a NanoDrop 2000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA), and cDNA synthesis was performed using Superscript III reverse transcriptase (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and random primers (Thermo Fisher Scientific) according to the manufacturer´s recommendations.

DNA extraction was performed using the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide protocol (Su et al. 2019) (link) and MasterPure TM Yeast DNA Purification Kit (Epicentre, Madison, WI, U.S.A.). The quantity and quality of the isolated DNA were evaluated using a NanoDrop ND-1000 spectrophotometer with the ND-1000 v3.3.0 software (Coleman Technologies, Wilmington, NC, U.S.A.). Five gene regions; the rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS), D1-D2 region of large subunit (LSU), partial β-tubulin (TUB), translation elongation factor 3 (TEF3) and ribosomal protein 60S L10 (L1) (RP60S) were amplified using the primers ITS4-ITS5, LR0R-LR5, TUB2Fd-TUB4Fd, EF3-3185F / EF3-3538R and 60S-908R / 60S506F, respectively (de Hoog et al. 2017; (link)Dukik et al. 2017) (link). PCRs were carried out as described by Stielow et al. (2015) (link). PCR products were visualized on 1.5% agarose gels and cycle-sequenced using Applied Biosystems BigDye Terminator version 3.1 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) after purification. Bidirectional sequencing was performed using a capillary electrophoresis system (3730×l DNA analyzer; Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, U.S.A.). Obtained sequences were manually inspected and stored in a BIOLOMICS database.

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.
