Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Full-length complementary DNA of wild-type HEK293 T-Rex Flp-In cells was used as template for cloning DHX36 into the pFRT/TO/FLAG/HA-Dest plasmid62 (link) using the restriction enzymes BamHI (Thermo Fisher Scientific) and XhoI (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The so-generated pFRT-FlagHA-DHX36-iso1 was used to create the plasmids pFRT-FlagHA-DHX36-iso2, pFRT-FlagHA-DHX36-iso1-E335A, and pFRT-FlagHA-DHX36-iso2-E335A by site-directed mutagenesis. For this, primer with the desired mutation were designed and set in a PCR with the paternal plasmid and 2× Phusion PCR Master Mix (Thermo Fisher Scientific).
Reporter gene plasmids were generated by cloning DHX36 binding sites of the WAC and PURB mRNA 3′ UTRs as well as two non-targeted regions of the DDX5 mRNA 3′ UTR into the pcDNA5-FRT-GFP-mCherry-3pGW backbone63 (link) (Addgene) using the commercial BP and LR clonase systems according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Mutated version were generated by site-directed mutagenesis.

Genomic DNA of MC58 was extracted by alkaline lysis [25 (link)] and used as the PCR template. The cbf gene sequence encoding the entire coding sequence for the NMB0345 protein (867 bp, NCBI), including the signal leader peptide and the following lipidation site (Cys21) was amplified using forward primer NMB0345F (5’-ggctatctcgagatgaaagcaaaaatcctgac-3’), reverse primer NMB0345R (5’-ggctataagcttctattattttgcaggtttgatgt -3’) and 2× Phusion PCR master mix (ThermoScientific, UK) under the following PCR conditions: initial denaturation (98°C, 30 s), 30 cycles of denaturation (98°C, 10 s), annealing (57°C, 30 s) and extension (72°C, 26 s) and a final extension (72°C for 5 min). The restriction site sequences for XhoI and HindIII enzymes are ctcgag and aagctt, respectively. The method for gene cloning into the pRSETA system with an N-terminus HIS-tag was described previously [25 (link)]. Recombinant plasmids carrying the cbf gene, which was confirmed by sequence analysis, were transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3) pLysS and protein expression was induced by addition of isopropyl-β-d-thiogalactopyranoside (1 mM final concentration), followed by bacterial growth for 4 h.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The ATAC-sequencing libraries were prepared as in (Buenrostro et al., 2015 ). For preparation of the ATAC-seq libraries, the cells were detached by a 5-min TrypLE incubation, washed in cold 5% FBS-PBS, and separated in flow cytometry based on EmGFP expression, which indicates DUX4 expression. 5×104 EmGFP (−) and EmGFP (+) DUX4TetOn-hESCs (H1 clone 2, H1 clone 8, H9 clone 3 and H9 clone 4) were centrifuged at 500×g for 5 min. The pellets were washed in cold 1× PBS by centrifugation at 500×g for 5min. Each cell pellet was lysed in 50 μL of cold lysis buffer (10 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.4, 10 mM NaCl, 3 mM MgCl2, and 0.1% IGEPAL CA-630) and centrifuged at 500×g at 4°C for 10 min. The pellet was then resuspended in the transposase reaction mix (2.5 μL of transposase in TD buffer (Nextera DNA library preparation kit, Illumina) and incubated at 37°C for 30 min. The reactions were purified through columns and eluted in 20 μL. After addition of the barcode oligos the DNA samples were amplified for 12 cycles (98°C for 10 s, 63°C for 30 s and 72°C for 60 s) in Phusion PCR master mix (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The PCR products were purified through the columns and eluted in 20 μL. All ATAC-seq libraries were sequenced in single-end mode on an Illumina NextSeq 550 platform using the 75 cycles High Output Kit (v2.5).

Comprehensive Hematopoietic Cell Profiling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genomic DNA was extracted from sorted hematopoietic cells and amplified using Phusion PCR Master Mix (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA). The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was stopped at the exponential phase, and the PCR product was purified using AMPure XP beads (Beckman Coulter A63880) before high-throughput sequencing. The sequencing data were analyzed as previously described29 (link),33 (link),34 (link). Barcode data were analyzed using our customized Python scripts32 –34 (link). We filtered out clones with more than 0.5% white blood cell (WBC) abundance in one cell type at one-time point and absent in all other cell types and time points. Sequencing data were combined with FACS data to calculate the clonal abundance as follows:
Clonal abundance = 100% × (each cell population (Gr, B, CD4 T, or CD8 T cells)% WBCs) × (donor% each cell population) × (GFP% donor cells) × (number of reads for each barcode)/(total reads of all barcodes).

ddRADseq of the Giant Salamander

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We performed double‐digest restriction site‐associated DNA sequencing (ddRADseq; Peterson et al., 2012 (link)), using the restriction enzymes EcoRI and PstI, both of which use six‐base‐pair recognition sites. We multiplexed individuals with 30 unique adapter barcodes. We size‐selected 500–600 bp fragments using a Pippin Prep Blue (Sage Science) and amplified final libraries using Phusion PCR master mix (Thermo Fisher Scientific). Due to the large genome size of A. barbouri (approximately 24 Gb; www.genomesize.com), we included only 30 individuals in each of four final libraries to attempt to increase sequencing depth across individuals; two individuals from each sampling location were duplicately sequenced in different libraries. A total of four libraries were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2000 sequencing system at the University of Oregon Genomics Core Facility (gc3f.uoregon.edu) using single‐end, 100 bp reads.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
We selected a subset of 12 residues present on the predicted chitin-binding surface of ChBDCHIT1-49 for substitution into alanine. The 12 single mutants of the protein BP-ChBDCHIT1-49 were generated using the Quick-Change Multi Site-Directed Mutagenesis kit (Agilent Technologies) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, mixtures of 50% Phusion PCR Master Mix (Thermo Fisher Scientific), 5% DMSO, 100 ng of template DNA and 2 mM of primers were submitted to the following PCR program: 30 s at 98 °C, 10 s at 98 °C, 30 s at 42 °C and 15 s at 72 °C (30 cycles), followed by a final step at 72 °C for 10 min. The PCR products were then digested by DpnI in FastDigest Buffer (Thermo Fisher Scientific) for 10 min at 37 °C to remove template DNA. Finally 10 μL of the resulting mutated plasmids were used to transform E. coli DH5α competent cells for plasmid amplification.

Emulsion PCR with Fluorinated Oils

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
2% HFE oil is composed of HFE (Novec 7500, 3 M) supplemented with 2%(w/w) 008-FluoroSurfactant (RAN Biotechnologies). 5% FC40 oil is FC40 (Sigma) supplemented with 5%(w/w) 008-FluoroSurfactant. 2% HFE oil was used to make a water-in-oil emulsion containing Phusion PCR master mix (M0530S, Thermo Fisher) 0.5 μM of each primer, and 70 fM template DNA (mCherry gene from plasmid pfm301) in the detergent-free buffer (F520L, Thermo Fisher) supplemented with 2.5%(v/v) Tween 20 and 2.5%(v/v) PEG 6000. Flow rates of aqueous and oil phases used for generating droplets were 125 and 250 μl/h, respectively. The oil phase of the collected droplets was exchanged with 5% FC40 oil by instructing the liquid-handling robot to remove oil from the bottom of PCR tubes because the aqueous droplets float on top of the denser fluorinated oil. 5% FC40 oil supports better droplet stability over the course of the PCR thermal cycle. After PCR, the oil phase was exchanged again with 2% HFE oil supplemented with SYBR Green dye (S7563, Thermo Fisher) 1× concentrate to stain the PCR products. The droplets were visualized in a Countess slide (C10228, Invitrogen), which produces a monolayer that is easily imaged on a microscope (EVOS FL, Thermo Fisher) using both transmission and GFP channels. The acquired images were analyzed with the ImageJ software to extract droplet size and fluorescence distributions.
