End repair mix

Manufactured by Qiagen
Sourced in United States

End-repair mix is a laboratory reagent used to prepare DNA fragments for subsequent processing, such as ligation or sequencing. It is designed to convert the ends of DNA molecules to a state that is compatible with downstream applications. The core function of the end-repair mix is to enzymatically modify the ends of DNA fragments to create blunt ends or specific overhang structures as required by the application.

Total RNA was extracted from U2932 cells using RNeasy Mini Kit (QIAGEN, #74104) and polyA+ transcripts isolated with oligo (dT)25-conjugated magnetic Dynabeads (Thermo Fisher). Strand specific RNA-seq libraries were prepared following a published protocol62 (link). Briefly, RNA was chemically fragmented in first strand buffer, converted to cDNA using SuperScript® III reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen), end-repaired, A-tailed and ligated to custom-designed universal adapters using an end-repair mix, klenow fragment, and T4 DNA ligase (all from Enzymatics). After ligation, adapters were removed by SPRI purification using SPRIselect beads (Beckman coulter) and amplified with Q5 Hot Start DNA polymerase (New England Biolabs) while introducing custom dual indexes. Three biological replicates were sequenced on a NextSeq 500 (Illumina) at a depth of at least 2×107 reads each. Reads were mapped and analyzed with a custom bioinformatic pipeline based on STAR63 (link), SAMTOOLS64 (link), and the R packages DEGseq65 (link) and DEseq266 (link). We used human genome version GRCh38 and gene annotations from the ENSEMBL release 83. GO analyses were performed using version 6.8 of the DAVID web server67 (link), 68 (link).

Cultured cells were rinsed once with PBS and lysed via direct addition of TRIzol reagent (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Total cellular RNA was purified using the Direct-zol RNA Miniprep kit (Zymo Research) or via PCIA. For RT-qPCR, 25 ng of RNA were assayed per 10 μL reaction using the RNA-to-Ct single-step kit (Thermo Fisher) and Gapdh as a normalization control. RT-qPCR primers are listed in the STAR key resources table. For library preparation, polyA+ RNA was isolated from 1.5 μg (ESC and NPC experiments) or 400 ng (CP experiments) total RNA using Dynabeads Oligo (dT)25 beads (Thermo Fisher) and constructed into strand-specific libraries using the dUTP method. UTP-marked cDNA was end-repaired using end-repair mix (Enzymatics), tailed with deoxyadenine using Klenow exo- (Enzymatics), and ligated to custom dual indexed adapters with T4 DNA ligase (Enzymatics). Libraries were size-selected with SPRIselect beads (Beckman Coulter) and quantified by qPCR after amplification. Paired-end sequencing was performed on a NextSeq 500 (Illumina).

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.
