Genomic Sequencing of Rhodiola nobile

Fresh leaf tissue was sampled from a wild individual of R. nobile growing on Mount Segrila, Tibet, China (29°37′5.87″ N, 94°38′59.84″E, 4,628 m) and immediately stored in liquid nitrogen before sending to Grandomics (Wuhan, China) for genomic sequencing. High molecular weight genomic DNA was prepared by the CTAB method then purified with a QIAGEN® Genomic kit (Cat. No. 13343, QIAGEN). To obtain Illumina short reads, DNA libraries with 500 bp inserts were constructed and sequenced using an Illumina HiSeq 4000 platform. In addition, high-molecular-weight DNA was prepared and used to construct PacBio SMRTbell libraries using a SMRTbell Express Template Prep Kit 2.0, following the manufacturers’ recommended protocols. The SMRTbell libraries were sequenced using a PacBio Sequel II system and consensus (HiFi) reads were generated using ccs software (https://github.com/pacificbiosciences/unanimity). Hi-C (high-throughput chromosome conformation capture) sequencing was performed as follows: sampled DNA was cross-linked with 1% formaldehyde to capture interacting DNA segments, chromatin was digested with the Dpn II restriction enzyme, and libraries were constructed and sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq 4000 platform.

Whole Genome Sequencing of Microbial Strains

The microbial strains were cultivated in Yeast-Malt-Glucose (YMG) broth for 48 h at 30 °C to produce the cell mass. The genomic DNA of strains Babs14 and Osf17 was initially extracted using Invitrogen PureLink® Genomic DNA kit. The DNA quantity and quality were tested by the NanoDrop ND-1000 Spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). The DNA was purified further using the Quick-DNA Miniprep Plus kit by Zymo research at the sequencing center of the University of Oregon Genomics & Cell Characterization Core Facility (GC3F). The whole genome sequencing was performed there by Pacific Biosciences Sequel II technology (PacBio). The DNA was made into SMRTbell libraries using the Express Template Prep Kit 2.0 from PacBio according to the manufacturer’s protocol. Samples were pooled into a single multiplexed library and size was selected using Sage Sciences’ BluePippin, which uses the 0.75% DF Marker S1 High-Pass 6 kb–10 kb v3 run protocol and S1 marker. A size selection cutoff of 8000 (BPstart value) was used. The size selected SMRTbell library was annealed and bound according to the SMRT Link Set Up and sequenced on a Sequel II. Raw PacBio reads were converted to fasta format with Samtools Fasta (http://www.htslib.org/doc/samtools.html) and then assembled with Flye 2.6 (https://github.com/fenderglass/Flye) with parameters-plasmids-iterations 2-asm-coverage 120.

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.
