NEBNext® Ultra™ II DNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina clustering and sequencing reagents were used according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Briefly, the genomic DNA was fragmented by acoustic shearing with a Covaris S220 instrument. Fragmented DNA was cleaned and end-repaired (Supplementary Figure 2B). Adapters were ligated after adenylation of the 3′ ends followed by enrichment by limited-cycle PCR. DNA libraries were validated using a DNA 1000 Chip on the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Supplementary Figure 2C, Agilent Technologies, Palo Alto, CA, USA) and quantified using Qubit 2.0 Fluorometer. The DNA libraries were also quantified by real-time PCR (Applied Biosystems, Carlsbad, CA, USA), and multiplexed in equal molar mass. The pooled DNA libraries clustered on 10 lanes. After clustering, the samples were loaded on the Illumina HiSeq instrument according to the manufacturer's instructions. The samples were sequenced using a 2x 150 paired-end (PE) configuration. Image analysis and base calling were conducted by the HiSeq Control Software (HCS) on the HiSeq instrument (Supplementary Figure 2D). WGS was performed with Q30 bases coverage and over 94–95% of Aligned reads (Supplementary Figure 2D, Supplementary Table 2). The genomic data of each of the 10 cases were normalized to a reference genome from Homo sapiens (NCBI GRCh38 with decoys, female).

Approximately 5 µg of a 3C library was suspended in water (final volume 130 µl) and sheared using a Covaris S220 instrument (Duty cycle 5, Intensity 5, cycles/burst 200, time 60 s for 4 cycles). The DNA was purified using a Qiaquick® PCR purification kit, DNA ends were prepared for adapter ligation following standard protocols78 (link). Custom-made adapters23 (link) were ligated overnight at 4 °C. Ligase was inactivated by incubating the tubes at 65 °C for 20 min. To purify DNA fragments ranging in size from 400 to 900 pb, a PippinPrep apparatus (SAGE Science) was used. For each library, one PCR reaction of 12 cycles was performed using 2–3 µl of 3C library, 0.2 µM Illumina primers PE1.0 and PE2.0, and 1 unit of Taq Phusion (Finnzymes). The PCR product was purified on Qiagen MinElute columns and dimers of primers were removed from the 3C library by using AMPure XP beads following the manufacturer’s protocol (Beckman Coulter). Finally, libraries were subjected to 75 bp paired-end sequencing in an Illumina sequencer (NextSeq500).

Total RNA (100 ng) was converted to cDNA using the NuGEN Ovation RNA-Seq System v2 (Cat. # 7102–32) (NuGEN) following the manufacturer’s protocol (NuGEN, San Carlos, CA). NuGEN-amplified double-stranded cDNAs were broken into ~ 180 base pair (bp) fragments by sonication with a Covaris S220 instrument (Covaris, Woburn, MA).

We prepared whole genome libraries of F0s using the KAPA HyperPlus kit (KAPA Biosystem) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. For each F0 library, we sheared 500 ng of gDNA by adaptive focused acoustics (Duty factor: 10%; Peak Incident Power: 175; Cycles per Burst: 200; Duration: 180 seconds) in AFA tubes, using a Covaris S220 instrument with SonoLab software version 7 (Covaris, Inc., USA), to recover fragmented DNA between 150–200 bp. We used 6 PCR cycles for post-ligation library amplification.
We captured F1 and F2 (188 per cross) S. mansoni exomes using the SureSelectXT2 Target Enrichment System (Agilent). The design of the custom baits used to capture the S. mansoni exome (SureSelect design ID: S0398493) is described in Chevalier et al. [45 (link)], and exome capture methodology follows Le Clec'h et al. [52 (link)].
We sequenced the libraries on a HiSeq 2500 sequencer (Illumina) using 100 bp pair-end reads. On each sequencing lane, we either pooled 32 exome capture libraries or two whole genome libraries. Raw sequence data are available at the NCBI Sequence Read Archive under accession numbers PRJNA667697.

We assessed the quality of sequencing libraries by quantitative MiSeq methods.26 Paired‐end sequencing with 2×101 bp reads was performed on Illumina HiSeq 2500 (Illumina Inc, San Diego, CA). The mean output was 6.4 Gb per sample, and mean coverage depth was 38.8‐fold. We used the data from the integrative Japanese Genome Variation Database 3.5KJPN (https://ijgvd.megab​ank.tohoku.ac.jp/) to determine the allele frequency in the general population. Samples from 51 patients with CTEPH and the general population as references were obtained in the same area, eastern Japan, specifically in the Tohoku district.

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.
