Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To confirm large aggregate/fibril formation, SDD-AGE was employed. Standard agarose (1.5%) was melted in a 1X TAE buffer (Fisher scientific) combined with 0.1% SDS, 0.5 μM 2,2,2-Trichloroethanol (Alfa Aesar) for stain-free detection and 1 μM Thioflavin T for fibril detection (Sigma). The hot solution was poured into an Owl EasyCast B1A mini gel system (Thermo Fisher Scientific). NANOG WR domain and CTD gel samples were first formed by diluting stock samples in 7 M GdnHCl to PBS buffer. The gel/precipitates were resuspended in 6X sample buffer (5:1) and pipetted for several times before 5 min RT incubation. Electrophoresis was performed in 1X TAE containing 0.1% SDS for 90 min at 80 V. After electrophoresis, the gel was imaged using the stain-free and Alexa 488 filters on the ChemiDoc MP imaging system (Bio-Rad). 3 and 10 μg BSA were used as negative controls.

High-Molecular-Weight DNA Extraction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The molecular weight of the extracted DNA was determined by running 2 μL of each sample in 0.8% agarose gel, 1× TAE buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 4 h at 60 V. The DNA was stained with 1× SYBR safe (Invitrogen, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA). The molecular weight of the genomic DNA was estimated by comparison with a HMW DNA ladder (Lambda DNA/EcoRI+HindIII; Thermo Fisher Scientific). Digital images of the gels were generated in an Amersham 600 RGB imager (GE Healthcare, Chicago, Illinois, USA) using automatic collection parameters. The images of the gels were enhanced (contrast, homogenization, and background removal) in ImageJ version 1.52a (Rasband, 2018) prior to the digital analysis. The 1D gel electrophoresis image analysis software GelAnalyzer2010a (http://www.gelanalyzer.com) was used to create profiles of the distribution of DNA fragments (Fig. 2A, B) using the Lambda DNA/EcoRI+HindIII DNA ladder as a size reference.
For all species, HMW DNA was exclusively observed in the DNA samples extracted from cells homogenized using the LN2 grinding method. The DNA extracted using this treatment was observed as a tight, clear band over the 21.2‐kbp marker band, whereas DNA extracted from cells homogenized using the other treatments displayed substantial smearing and lacked a clear HMW DNA band, consistent with high DNA fragmentation (Fig. 2).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genomic DNA was extracted from 80 mg of fresh leaves using a modified DNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen), adapted to produce high-quality and quantity DNA for PCR-free sequencing. The main modified steps were the addition of sodium bisulfite and RNAse A in the lysis buffer and an additional ethanol wash step before the DNA elution step. Integrity of genomic DNA was determined by running 2 μl of each sample in 1% agarose gel, 1X TAE buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 30 min at 100 V. The DNA was stained with 1X ethidium bromide solution (Sigma-Aldrich). The molecular weight of the genomic DNA was estimated by comparison with a 1-kb DNA ladder (Invitrogen). After this step, genomic DNA was checked for quality on NanoDrop ND8000 (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and quantified on Qubit (Thermo Fisher Scientific) by Picogreen dosage. Minimum conditions required for the preparation of PCR-free libraries were as follows: a 260/230 nm ratio over 1.8, a 260/280 nm ratio over 1.8, and at least 3 μg of genomic DNA. Illumina TruSeq PCR-free libraries were carried out using the DNA Shearing M220 (Covaris) and were checked by the Fragment Analyzer (Agilent). Sequencing was performed as 150-bp paired-end reads on NovaSeq6000 (Illumina). Both library preparation and sequencing were done by GeT-PlaGe platform, Genotoul, France.
