The genomic sequence
of the Ighg1 constant heavy chain and Igkc constant light chain were
identified using the Ensembl genome browser (release 98,46 (link) accession numbers – Ighg1: ENSMUSG00000076614,
Igkc: ENSMUSG00000076609). gRNA-H.m1 (5′-CTTGGTGCTGCTGGCCGGGT-3′)
and gRNA-L.mκ (5′-GGAATGAGTGTTAGAGACAA-3′)
were designed using http://crispor.tefor.net/(47 (link)) and ordered as single-stranded oligos
from Integrated DNA Technologies (IDT) with the appropriate BbsI overhangs
for cloning into the plasmid px330-U6-Chimeric_BB-CBh-hSpCas9, which
was obtained as a gift from Feng Zhang (Addgene plasmid #42230). Oligos
were phosphorylated using a thermocycler with the T4 PNK enzyme (M0201,
New England Biolabs) by incubation at 37 °C for 30 min, and annealed
by incubation at 95 °C for 5 min, and cooling at a rate of 0.1
°C/s to 25 °C. Annealed oligos of gRNA-H.m1 and gRNA-L.mκ
were cloned into the px330 vector at the BbsI site. Synthetic gene
fragments containing homologous arms and desired insert for Fab′
fragment generation and tag insertion were synthesized by IDT and
cloned into the PCR2.1 TOPO TA vector (K-450001, ThermoFisher Scientific).
All gRNA/Cas9 and HDR plasmids were isolated from DH5α competent E. coli and purified with the NucleoBond Xtra Midi
Kit (740410.100, Macherey-Nagel) according to the manufacturer’s
protocol.

PCR Validation of Deletion Junctions

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Once possible deletion junctions were identified bioinformatically they were confirmed using conventional PCR. Primers were designed that flank the junction and did not contain repeats as identified by using Repeat Masker (Smit et al. 2013). The forward primer used was 5’-CAGTTATCTGACTGTAACACTGTAGGC-3’ and the reverse primer used was 5’-GTTGTTGCTTATGCTGGTCTTG-3’ to generate a 650 bp product. For 3 individuals the PCR product was subcloned into pCR 2.1-TOPO TA vector (Thermo Fisher) and Sanger sequenced for confirmation.

Five microgram of total RNA were circularized with 40 U of T4 RNA ligase (New England Biolabs), following the manufacturer's instructions. Circularized RNA were phenol extracted and precipitated in one volume of isopropanol, for 2h at −20°C. Circularized RNA were resuspended in 14.5 μl of water and first strand complementary DNA (cDNA) synthesis was done for 3 h at 40°C using 400 U of M-MLV reverse transcriptase (Fermentas), 8 mM of random hexamers (Eurofins), 1X M-MLV buffer, 0.5 mM dNTPs and 40 U of Riboblock RNase inhibitor (Fermentas). The obtained cDNA were diluted four times, and 5 μl of the obtained cDNA solution were used for PCR amplification with divergent primers. The primers used for mapping nad1 exon 1, exons 2–3 and exons 4–5 precursor transcripts are listed in Supplementary Table S1. Amplified PCR products were gel purified, cloned into pCR2.1®-TOPO® TA vector (ThermoFisher Scientific) and inserts of independent recombinant plasmids were sequenced after Escherichia coli transformation.

Molecular Analysis of Barley Endosperms and Leaves

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Plant materials for molecular analysis were collected from barley (H. vulgare cultivar Golden Promise) endosperms of T0 and leaves of T0 and T1 progeny. Genomic DNA was isolated using the CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) method (Doyle and Doyle, 1990 ). Primers were designed to amplify a 560 bp fragment containing the sgRNA. The PCR products were cloned with pCR2.1®-TOPO TA vector (ThermoFisher Scientific), and 10 positive colonies were chosen and sequenced. The primers used for ptst1 amplification were 5'-TGA ATC GCG ATG TAG GTC AG-3' as forward and 5'-GCG CAC TTT GCT ATT GAA TG-3' as reverse. The primers used for gbss1a amplification were 5'-CTT CTG GCC TGC TAC CTC AA-3' as forward and 5'-TAG TTG ACG GCG AGG AAC TT-3' as reverse.
Specific primers 5'-CAG TCG CAA ATA AAG GAT GAT GC-3' as forward and 5'-CGA ACA AGA AAA TGC TAA CCT GC-3' as reverse were used to flank 15 bp deletions of PTST1 in barley T1 plants. Wild-type plants amplified 221 bp while homozygous mutant plants amplified 206 bp and heterozygous mutant plants amplified both fragments (221 bp and 206 bp).

A 786 bps of Kmt2d cDNA fragment was amplified using primers 5-CCGAATCAAACAGGGTCGGA −3 and 5-ACATAGGGCTGGCAGGAAAC-3 and cloned into pCR 2.1-TOPO® TA vector (Thermo Fisher, K450001). To generate Kmt2d antisense RNA probe, the plasmid was linearized with KpnI and was transcribed with T7 RNA polymerase. Kmt2d sense probe was generated by linearization with EcoRV and was transcribed with Sp6. In situ hybridization was performed on sections using both antisense and sense probes, with the latter serving a negative control. Experimental procedure of In situ hybridization was carried out as described previously (Yang et al., 2018 (link)).

Detection and Sequencing of BMMF Amplicons

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After completion of RCA, all samples underwent a PCR procedure for the detection of short-size BMMF amplicons (approx. 300–600 bp). The applied primers, PCR reaction set-ups and thermal programs have been published elsewhere [35 (link),36 (link)]. In case of positive results, primer pairs for inverse PCR were designed based on the sequences of short fragments, followed by amplification of full-length sequences. Full-length amplicons were cloned into pCR2.1 TOPO TA vector (ThermoFisher Scientific Inc., Waltham, MA, USA). After transformation of E. coli, MiniPrep and restriction digest, insert-bearing clones were subjected to Sanger Sequencing on both strands. MWG Eurofins (Ebersberg, Germany) operated all sequencing reactions.

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.
