Complete Genome Sequencing of HCoV-NL63

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The HCoV-NL63 isolate from the Netherlands (HCoV-NL63_Amsterdam 1, GenBank accession number: NC_005831) served as the reference strain. Eighteen primer pairs covering overlapping regions were designed using the Blast-Primer web tool. RT-PCR was employed to amplify specific segments with overlapping regions, encompassing all protein-coding genes except the 5’ untranslated regions (UTR) and 3’ UTR. Primer pairs and amplification details are provided in Table 1. Samples with Ct values ≤25 from human coronavirus HCoV-NL63 real-time RT-PCR were selected, and the TAKARA PrimeScriptTM One Step RT-PCR kit Ver. 2 was used for RT-PCR amplification. The amplified segments were subjected to Sanger sequencing by Qingke Biosciences Co., Ltd.

Total RNA was extracted from fresh frozen tissues or cells according to the instructions of the Trizol kit (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). The RNA was then dissolved in 1× RNA-enzyme-free diethylpyro carbonate (DEPC). Checking the OD values of RNA at the wavelengths of 260 nm and 280 nm via ND-1000 ultraviolet/visible spectrophotometer (Nanodrop Company, Rockford, IL, USA) to evaluate the quality and concentration of the total RNA. Then cDNA amplification efficiency was evaluated using PrimeScriptTM One Step RT-PCR Kit Ver.2 (TaKaRa) followed the manufacturer’s instructions.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Since the genome structure of Hippocampus erectus astro-like virus 1 (abbreviated as HeAstV1) is distinct from other members of the family Astroviridae, RT-PCR of the original sample was performed using the PrimeScriptTM One Step RT-PCR Kit Ver.2 (TaKaRa, Beijing, China), with primers designed based on the obtained consensus sequence to further confirm the viral genome (Table S2). RT-PCR was initiated at 50 °C for 30 min and 94 °C for 2 min, followed by 30 cycles of 94 °C for 30 s, 60 °C for 30 s, and 72 °C for 1 min. If the concentration of the RT-PCR product of the first round was low, nested PCR was performed using Premix TaqTM (TaKaRa, Beijing, China). The reaction conditions for nested PCR were 30 cycles of 98 °C for 10 s, 60 °C for 30 s, and 72 °C for 1 min. The final products were sequenced and compared with the original template.

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.
