Sequencing Drug-Resistant Salmonella Mutants

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
From each of the biocide exposure experiments, four drug-resistant mutants representing the range of phenotypes were selected for sequencing. Mutants were selected to reflect those that emerged early and late in the selection period. Genomic DNA was extracted from 5 mL overnight cultures grown in drug-free LB media using a Promega Wizard® Genomic DNA Purification Kit. The quantity and quality of the DNA was confirmed by agarose gel electrophoresis and by analysis using a NanoDrop Spectrophotometer (Life Technologies) and Bioanalyzer (Life Technologies). Mutants were sequenced using a 454 GS FLX instrument (Roche) with Titanium chemistry and the resulting sequence reads were mapped against the SL1344 reference genome using the gsMapper alignment module of Newbler, run through the xBASE-NG web site. High-confidence SNPs were identified as previously described.31 (link) Mutations detected consistently in all sequenced isolates were deemed to be differences between our WT laboratory strain and the sequenced SL1344 reference strain and were excluded from further analysis. Mutations and SNPs identified were verified by PCR and Sanger sequencing.

RNA-seq analysis of miR-155 knockout and Alzheimer's mouse models

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNAs from PFC of 4- and 8-month-old male WT (n=4), miR155+/− (n=4), miR155−/−(n=4), APP/PSEN1 (n=4), APP/PSEN1;miR155+/− (n=4) or APP/PSEN1;miR155−/− (n=4) mice were subjected to RNA sequencing. The sequencing library was prepared with the TruSeq RNA Sample Prep Kit v2 protocol (Illumina, CA, USA). Ribosomal RNAs were removed using the Ribo-Zero rRNA Removal Kit (Human/Mouse/Rat) (Illumina, CA, USA). Remaining RNAs were fragmented, and the cDNAs synthesized using random hexamers, end-repaired, and ligated with appropriate adaptors for sequencing. The library was processed for size selection and purification using AMPure XP beads (Beckman Coulter, CA, USA). The appropriate Illumina-recommended 6bp barcode bases were introduced at one end of the adaptors during the PCR amplification step. The size and concentration of the RNA-seq libraries were measured by Bioanalyzer and Qubit fluorometry (Life Technologies, NY, USA) before loading onto the sequencer. The rRNA-depleted libraries were sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 System with 100 nucleotide single-end reads (Illumina, CA, USA).

Transcriptional Profiles of Sex-1 and Apo-1 Seedlings

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Seventeen to eighteen days old seedlings from Sex-1 and Apo-1 accessions were subjected to mRNA sequencing. Seedlings were snap-frozen and kept at -80°C until RNA extraction; tissue was ground using a tissue lyser (Retsch, Germany). RNA extraction was performed using QIAGEN RNeasy Mini Kit and DNase–treated according to manufacturer’s instructions (Qiagen, USA). The RNA quality was further validated in a Bioanalyzer (Life Technologies, USA). mRNA transcripts purification, cDNA synthesis, library preparation and NGS sequencing were performed as per the routine pipeline established at the facility of Fasteris, Geneva, Switzerland. Illumina HiSeq2000 was used to carry out paired-end sequencing generating a minimum of 100 bp per read.

Total RNA extraction was performed with miRvana kit (Ambion). RNA quantity and quality were verified by Nanodrop (Thermo Scientific) and capillary electrophoresis (Bioanalyzer, Agilent) respectively. RNAs (3.5 μg) were rRNA depleted using either Ribominus (Life Techologies) or Ribozero kits (Epicentre). Barcoded libraries were prepared for each sample using SOLiD total RNA-Seq kit (Life Techologies) and following the manufacturer's instructions. Library profiles and concentration were verified with Bioanalyzer and Qubit (Life Technologies) before equimolar pooling of the libraries.

RNA Extraction and Sequencing Library Preparation

RNA was extracted from pooled technical triplicate sucrose gradient fractions by ethanol precipitation followed by acid phenol:chloroform extraction. Direct phenol:chloroform extraction was precluded by phase inversion in high sucrose fractions. RNA was then DNase treated, acid phenol:chloroform extracted, and ethanol precipitated. Cytoplasmic RNA was TRIzol extracted (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) and ethanol precipitated. Total RNA integrity was verified using a BioAnalyzer (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA). Ribosomal RNA was then depleted using Ribo-Zero (Illumina, San Diego, CA) and biological duplicate sequencing libraries were generated using the TruSeq RNA Sample Prep v2 kit (Illumina) without the poly-A selection steps. An equal mass (100 ng) of rRNA-depleted RNA was used as input to each individual library preparation. Libraries were verified using a BioAnalyzer and quantified using a Qubit (Life Technologies) prior to pooling for sequencing. Library insert sizes were typically ~150 ± ~25 bp. Pooled libraries were 75-bp paired-end sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 and runs of the same library in different lanes or flowcells were merged.

Titrating MNase for Mint-ChIP

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MNase (New England BioLabs M0247S) was stored as frozen aliquots at −80°C. To titrate MNase for specific cell types, we lysed and digested 10,000–100,000 cells in the same conditions as for Mint-ChIP, using 4 to 600 MNase units. MNase was inactivated with 30 mM EGTA and we performed a 2× SPRI bead cleanup to isolate DNA (Agencourt AMPure XP beads). DNA was eluted in 40 μl H2O with 0.4 μl RNase (Roche 11119915001) and 1 μl Proteinase K (Life Technologies 25530-031) and incubated for 15 minutes at 37°C and for 1 hour at 62°C. Another 2× SPRI bead cleanup was performed, and eluted DNA was run on a 2% E-gel (Life Technologies G402002) or BioAnalyzer. MNase concentrations that yielded most fragments of 1–5 nucleosomes (150–800 bp) were selected for Mint-ChIP.

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.
