done as described previously.57 (link) Briefly,
viral RNA from each passage of the evolution experiment was extracted
using the QIAamp Viral RNA Mini Kit (Qiagen, 52906). Viral mRNA was
isolated by poly-A pulldown with oligo d(T) 25 beads using the NEBNext
Poly(A) mRNA Magnetic Isolation Module (NEB, E7490L). The first strand
of cDNA was prepared using the High-Capacity cDNA RT Kit (ThermoFisher,
4368814), and the second strand was synthesized with the large Klenow
fragment of DNA polymerase 1 (NEB, M0210L). cDNA was purified with
the MinElute PCR purification kit (Qiagen, 28004). Tagmentation and
creation of the library was done using the Nextera XT DNA Library
Preparation Protocol (Illumina, FC-131–1096). Index adapters
used for sample identification were created by MBSU (Molecular Biology
Service Unit, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada), and libraries
were cleaned up using the MagJET NGS Cleanup Kit (ThermoFisher, K2821).
Sample concentration was checked using the NanoDrop 8000 spectrophotometer
(ThermoFisher, ND-8000-GL), and sample purity was analyzed by the
Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer G2938C (Marshall Scientific, AG-2100C) at
the MBSU. Equal amounts of DNA were combined and sent for sequencing
to the MBSU for Next Generation Sequencing on the MiSeq System (Illumina,
SY-410–1003).
