MHC Class II Genotyping in Lemurs

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PCR amplification targeting the two loci of the most variable parts of the MHC class II region, DRB and DQB, was performed using primers that flank the functionally important ABS and captured the full variability in the congener M. murinus (Schad et al. 2004 ; Averdam et al. 2011 (link)). PCR reaction mix and amplification conditions are summarised in ESM 2. Each individual PCR product (further referred to as amplicon) was electrophoresed on 1 % agarose gel to verify successful amplification. Primer design and the preparation of locus-specific amplicon libraries were described elsewhere (Huchard et al. 2012 (link)). Sequencing was conducted according to standard protocols for GS Junior sequencing (Roche, 454 pyrosequencing). All sequencing reads retrieved from a total of six sequencing runs were processed according to a post-sequencing quality control procedure following Huchard et al. (2012 (link)).

Based on functional screening, a total of 173 positive fosmid clones were randomly selected from variant levels of halo against screening substrates for full sequencing (Figure S1), including 68 endoglucanase-, 15 exoglucanase-, 40 β-glucosidase-, and 50 endoxylanase-positive clones (10 out of these clones exhibited dual enzyme specificities). After cell density normalization, every 10 to 12 different fosmids were pooled as a sample for the whole fosmid DNA extraction using the QIAGEN Large-Construction kit according to manufacturer’s instructions. Extracted DNA was directly subjected to 454 pyrosequencing (Roche Diagnostics, USA). After assembly (Newbler 2.5.3), coding regions and bacterial operons were predicted by FGENESB (http://linux1.softberry.com/berry.phtml). The predicted amino acid sequences were aligned to the eggNOG v4.5.1 database [35 (link)] and KEGG for further functional prediction (E-value <1.0e−5). Searches for carbohydrate-active enzymes was performed against dbCAN database with default parameters. Signal peptides were predicted by SignalP 4.1 in CBS (http://www.cbs.dtu.dk/services/SignalP/). Molecular masses and isoelectric points were predicted by ExPASy (http://www.expasy.ch/tools/protparam.html). Protein cellular location was predicted using CELLO v.2.5 (http://cello.life.nctu.edu.tw) [36 (link)].

Targeted Sequencing of Somatic Variants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primers were designed to amplify 300-500bp fragments by conventional PCR for putative single nucleotide substitutions identified by exome sequencing. PCR amplification was performed for both tumour and remission DNA pairs and fragments were purified using SPRI bead clean up (Agencourt AMPure XP beads, Beckman Coulter, UK). A sample specific 8bp index tag was incorporated during amplification to allow subsequent de-convolution of sample origin in all recurrent variants. Individual pools of normal and tumour samples were prepared and subjected to 454 pyrosequencing (Roche, Branford, CT, USA). Sequencing data were aligned as previously described and targeted evaluation of sequence reads by chromosome, position and variant base was performed to confirm somatic status of reported variant.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA extraction of pooled caecal digesta samples (maximum of 5 birds/pool) was performed using the DNAzol™ kit (Life Technologies Ltd., Paisley, UK). DNA pellets were re-suspended in 200 μl of TE elution buffer (Qiagen, UK) with concentration and purity assessed by Nanodrop. Bacterial DNA was analysed by 454-pyro sequencing (Roche, Indianapolis, U.S.A) targeting the V4-V5 region of the bacterial 16S ribosomal gene as a service by the Animal Health and Veterinary Laboratories Agency (AHVL), Weybridge, U.K. Sequencing returned over 10,000 reads per sample, each read was 400–500 bp in length and any poor quality reads were discarded. Methods used for prediction of identities from the sequencing data were automated and involved using BLASTn against Ribosomal databases [22 (link)]. Data were formatted by AHVL to show percentage abundance of each identified genus in relation to the overall microbiome.

Purified DNA extracts from rhizosphere soil samples were initially submitted to Macrogen, Inc. (Seoul, South Korea) for 454-pyrosequencing (Roche) using 16S rRNA as a gene target. The selection of primer set and sequencing of 16S rRNA gene libraries were according to the Macrogen, Inc. protocol and recommended for Roche 454 GS-FLX System using Titanium Chemistry (454 Life Sciences). Briefly, 16S rRNA gene libraries were prepared by PCR using the universal bacterial primer UNI_AMP-27F (5′-Zxxx GAG TTT GAT CMT GGC TCA G-3′ and UNI_AMP-518R (5′-K WTT ACC GCG GCT GCT GG-3′) (Lee et al., 2010 (link)), where Z and K represent two pyrosequencing primers (CCATCT CAT CCC TGC GTG TCT CCG ACT CAG and CCTATC CCC TGTG TGC CTT GGC AGT CTC AG), and xxx was designed for the sample identification barcoding key. The PCR reaction was as follow: a hot start at 95°C for 3 min, PCR amplification was carried out for 35 cycles at 94°C for 15 s, 55°C for 45 s, and 72°C for 1 min. A final extension step was carried out at 72°C for 8 min. The 16S rRNA gene libraries were sequenced by with Roche 454 GS-FLX System using Titanium Chemistry (Roche Diagnostics Corporation, Life Sciences, Branford, CT, United States).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequences were amplified and sequenced with Roche 454 pyrosequencing. All sequencing runs included appropriate extraction controls and sequencing (not template added) controls (Additional file 8). Amplicons were produced utilizing 338F and 906R primers adapted for the GS FLX Titanium pyrosequencing platform (Roche) to target the V2-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene. The primers incorporated either the A linker, key, and a 10-nucleotide barcode (forward primer) or the B linker and key (reverse primer), followed by a sequence targeting a conserved region of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene. All individual PCR amplicons were purified, quantified, and pooled in equimolar ratios, and the library pool was gel purified prior to submission for sequencing as described in [45 (link)] with the exception that 30 PCR cycles were done. Sequencing was performed on the Roche/454 GS FLX+ System.
