Saliva-Based DNA Isolation and Genotyping

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genomic DNA was isolated from volunteer saliva sample (400 µL) using High Pure PCR template Preparation Kit (Roche, Basel, Switzerland). The quality and the concentration of the isolated DNA were assessed using Nanodrop 1000 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer (Thermo-Fisher Scientific, MA, USA). A final concentration between 20–100 ng/µL of the isolated DNA was considered great. Then, aliquots were stored at −20 °C until the analysis of polymorphisms. Genotyping was performed by qPCR (LightCycler®480 FastStart DNA or Genotyping Master mix, Roche, Basel, Switzerland) using the differential melting temperature to determine the alleles of each single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). The qPCRs were done following these conditions: 95 °C for 5 min, 45 cycles of denaturation at 92 °C for 15 s and annealing 60 °C for 1 min. The melting temperatures were recorded and analysed to determine the presence of specific alleles. The genotyping of all SNP was done using expressly designed probes (TIB Molbiol, Berlin, Germany).

The target RNA sequence was designed according to the specific sequence fragment of influenza H1N1. Mature LwaCas13a crRNA was designed. It contained a 36-nucleotide (nt) direct repeat sequence and a 25-nt spacer that was completely complementary to the target RNA. The crRNA and target RNA were synthesized by in vitro transcription using T7 RNA polymerase and the HiScribe T7 High Yield RNA Synthesis Kit (New England Biolabs) to transcribe and Monarch RNA Cleanup Kit to purify RNA. Two microliters of 100 μM T7 promoter, 2 μL of 100 μM ssDNA templates containing T7 promoter sequence, and 14 μL RNase-free water were incubated at 95 °C for 5 min and then gradient cooled to 25 °C. The transcription reaction was established with the above solution, 2 μL T7 RNA polymerase (50 U/μL), and 10 μL NTP Buffer mix (20 mM) at 37 °C for 16 h. Then, 2 μL DNaseI (2 U/μL) was added and mixed to degrade the DNA in the solution. The concentrations of crRNA and target RNA were determined using a Nanodrop 1000 UV–vis spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and stored at – 80 °C.

Tris-Neutralization DNA Extraction Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The total genomic DNA was extracted from a 30 mg sample of dry roots using a modified Tris-neutralization method [29 ], in which an extraction buffer containing 0.5 mol/L NaOH, 1% polyvinyl polypyrrolidone (PVP) and 1% Triton × 100 was used. Extraction of the genomic DNA was performed through the following procedures: The extraction buffer (20 μL) was added in a 1.5 mL EP tube containing the sample powder. This tube was vortexed for 10–15 s followed by boiling for 10–15 s; 80 μL Tris-HCl (0.1 mol/L, pH 8.0) was then added into the mixture, vortexed gently and centrifuged for 2 min at 12,000 r/min; the supernatant was collected for later use. The quality and quantity of the exacted DNA samples were assessed using a NanoDrop 1000 UV/Vis spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific, Wilmington, DE, USA) and 1.2% agarose gel electrophoresis.

Circular dichroism (CD) spectrum of JS7 was collected on a Jasco J-815 spectrometer (DIY = 8 s, scan speed 20 nM/min, 10 iterations 178–260 nM) and interpreted with the CDSSTR program [53 (link),54 (link)], accessed via the Dichroweb server [55 (link)].
Protein/peptide concentrations were determined by direct measurement on a Nanodrop 1000 UV–vis spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific). JS10 and JS7 (dissolved in water or PBS) were quantified based on calculated extinction coefficients at 280 nm. Peptides 1–3 were dissolved in water to approximately 10 mg/mL and then further dissolved to 5 mg/mL stock solution based on their absorbance at 230 nm.

Total RNA was extracted from 10 mL of mid- to late exponential phase cultures of ATCC 29149 and ATCC 35913 in YCFA supplemented with one carbon source (Glc or pPGM). Four biological replicates were performed for each carbon source. The RNA was stabilized prior to extraction by adding 1/5 vol of phenol (pH 4.3) : ethanol (1:9) mixture to 1 vol of culture then incubating 30 min on ice and finally pelleting the cells for 5 min at 10,000 g at 4°C. Cell pellets were stored at −80°C before extraction. Extraction was performed using a traditional method using phenol and chloroform. Genomic DNA contamination was removed by DNAse treatment using TURBO DNA-free kit (Life Technologies Ltd, Paisley, UK) according to supplier's recommendations. The purity, quantity and integrity of the extracted RNA were assessed before and after DNase treatment, with NanoDrop 1000 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer (Thermo Fischer Scientific, Wilmington, DE) and with Agilent RNA 600 Nano kit on Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies, Stockport, UK).

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.
