Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNAs were isolated from sweet potato samples using TRIzol reagent (Invitrogen, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. RNA quality and purity were assessed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The total RNAs were then reversely transcribed with PrimeScriptTMRT Reagent Kit (TaKaRa, Japan) using Oligo(dT) as primer. Cloning primers were designed according to the assembled contig of IbCAT2 in the sweet potato transcriptome [32 (link), 34 (link)] using Primer Premier 5.0 (PREMIER Biosoft International, CA, USA). Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was performed using KOD-Plus-Neo (TOYOBO, Japan) with IbCAT F1 (5′-GATATCATGGATCCTTATCAGCACCG-3′) and IbCAT R1 (5′-GGAATTCTCACATTGTTGGCCGCAC-3′; bp position: 1049–1069) as primers with 35 cycles of 2 min at 94°C, 10 s at 98°C, 30 s at 56°C, and 45 s at 68°C. The PCR product was separated by 1% agarose gel and purified by DNA gel extraction kit (OMEGA, USA). It was then double digested by EcoR I and EcoR V (Fermentas, USA). The pET-32a(+) was also double digested by EcoR I and EcoR V (Fermentas, USA). Restricted DNA products were then separated by 1% agarose gel, purified by DNA gel extraction kit (OMEGA, USA), and then ligated with pET-32a(+) by T4 DNA ligase (TaKaRa, Japan). The recombinant plasmid was transformed into the Escherichia coli host strain JM109. Positive clones were sequenced with an ABI 3730 instrument.

Southern Blot Analysis of Transformants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The selected transformants were analyzed by Southern hybridization using a previously described method [27 (link)], to demonstrate that the transformation cassettes had homologously integrated at the targeted T. reesei QM6aΔtmus53Δpyr4 loci (Additional file 3). To perform this analysis, 25 µg of total genomic DNA from the parental and mutant strains were digested with EcoRV (Fermentas) overnight, and then, this digested DNA was transferred onto GE Healthcare Amersham Hybond-N + membranes (GE). The probe was generated from the PCR-amplified fragment using Tr69957_pRS426_5fw and Tr69957_pyrG_5rv (Additional file 2) and labeled using a digoxigenin (DIG) DNA labeling kit (Roche, Mannheim, Germany) by following the manufacturer’s instructions. Labeling, hybridization, and immunological detection were performed using a non-radioactive labeling and immunological detection kit with CDP-Star as the chemiluminescent substrate (Roche, Mannheim, Germany), by following the methods that were previously described [28 (link)].

Phage DNA Restriction Profiling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Phage DNA digestion and agarose gel electrophoresis were carried out as previously established52 (link). Essentially, the genomic DNA of 90 phage isolates was cut separately with EcoRI, EcoRV or HindIII restriction endonucleases (Fermentas) overnight at 37 °C as recommended by the manufacturer. Enzymes were selected based on their ability to recognize and cleave within 6 nucleotide sites of low G-C content (33%), typical for lactococcal phages and their host genomes. The digested DNA fragments were separated on a 0.7% (w/v) agarose gel containing ethidium bromide in 1xTAE buffer (Merck). DNA loading dye with 50% formamide was used to load the samples on the agarose gel. Formamide was added to separate the phage cohesive (cos) ends53 (link). Comparative analysis based on DNA restriction patterns allowed the separation of the phages into distinct restriction groups (8 in total). Representatives from each group were taken for sequencing.

The tdMDA amplicon was randomly digested with the restriction enzymes, SacI, HindIII, SspI, BamHI, EcoRV, and EcoRI (10U/μl, Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) for 3 hours at 37°C. The HindIII, SacI digested fragments were purified by GeNei PCR purification kit (Bangalore, Karnataka, India) and cloned in pOK12 or pBluescript II KS (+) vector at the corresponding site at 16°C for 12 hours. After the confirmation by restriction digestion, a total of nine clones were sequenced, seven for N. benthamiana and two for O. sativa. The mapped clone sequences such as HindIII 10, HindIII 33, HindIII 38, and SacI 11 for N. benthamiana and HindIII 1 and HindIII 2 for O. sativa were subjected to prediction for their possibility of forming circRNA in PlantcircBase [41 (link)] (http://ibi.zju.edu.cn/plantcircbase/index.php). Predicted putative circRNA sequences were validated by RT-PCR with divergent primers (Table 1) [42 (link)].

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The DNA was amplified using random PCR as described elsewhere [14 (link)]. The PCR tag-sequence was cleaved away using EcoRV (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA). The RNA was reverse-transcribed into cDNA and amplified by single-primer isothermal amplification (SPIA) using the Ovation RNA-Seq V2 kit (NuGEN, San Carlos, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The random PCR products and the SPIA products were then purified using the GeneJET PCR purification kit (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The concentrations of the purified random PCR products ranged from 18 to 25 ng/µL, and those of the purified SPIA products ranged from 36 to 66 ng/µL. All the products were sequenced at SciLifeLab/Genome Center (Uppsala, Sweden) using the Ion S5 XL system (Thermo Fisher, Waltham, MA, USA) and two 530 chips. The main type of sequencing errors associated with this platform are insertions and deletions (indels).

Herring sperm DNA (10164142), phage lambda DNA (D3779), and pBR322 (N3033L) DNA were purchased from Invitrogen (Karlsruhe, Germany), Sigma-Aldrich, and New England Biolabs (Frankfurt, Germany), respectively. To test the influences of a circular or linear state of DNA, and the nature of the DNA end on degradation by Eap, pBR322 was digested with the restriction enzymes BamHI, EcoRV, and PstI (Thermo Fisher), respectively, following the instructions of the manufacturer. The 1.4-kb DNA fragment was amplified by PCR using primer pair MBH492 (5′-CCTGAACAACCTGATGAGCC-3′)/MBH493 (5′-ACCCTATTTTTTCGCCAAGCC-3′), and chromosomal DNA from S. aureus strain Newman (Duthie, 1952 (link)) as template.

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.
