Genomic DNA for SNP-DArT (DArTseq) and silico-DArT genotyping was isolated from 329 plants of the G38A mapping population and the two parental lines using the Mag-Bind Plant DNA 96 Kit (Omega Bio-Tek, USA) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. One hundred milligrams of ground leaf tissue was used for each analyzed plant. The isolated DNA was dissolved in 100 μl elution buffer. The DNA yield and purity were estimated using a spectrophotometer (NanoDrop 2000, Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA) and electrophoresed in 1% agarose gel stained with SimplySafe (Eurx, Poland). The DNA concentration was adjusted to 100 ng and then samples were sent to the Diversity Arrays Technology Pty Ltd.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All of the amplified PCR products were analyzed by electrophoresis in 2% agarose gel stained with SimplySafe (EURx, Poland) and visualized under UV light. PCR products were then extracted and purified from the gel using QIAquick gel extraction kit (Qiagen Ltd, Crawley, UK). The second round PCR products of Enteroviruses and Adenoviruses were sequenced using the ABI 3110 DNA SEQUENCER (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA). The partial nucleotide sequences of VP1 and hexon regions were aligned by the CLUSTALW and phylogenetic tree analysis was obtained by the neighbor-joining method under the Kimura-two-parameter distance model by the software package of MEGA7 (www.megasoftware.net). The reference strains used for comparisons with sequences from this study were obtained from GenBank.
In order to identify Enterovirus serotypes, pairwise comparison of the VP1 amplicon sequence was performed with the complete database of VP1 sequences of all known EV serotypes using the BLAST program (www.ncbi.nlm.gov/BLAST) from the Gen-Bank. At least 75% identity in the VP1 sequence is required to put strains in the same serotype (18 (link)).
Types of Adenoviruses were determined by comparing the sequences obtained from the hexon amplified region with the sequences of the same region of prototype strains existing in the GenBank 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.
