Tissues of brain, heart, lung, spleen, liver, and kidney of 286 captured bats from Cordoba and Sucre departments were analyzed. The RNA was extracted with Trizol and cDNA was synthesized using a reverse a reverse transcriptase enzyme M-MLV (Invitrogen), a cDNA was obtained. Nested RT-PCR was performed with a first-round to get an amplicon product of 1360 bp using the primers: Flavi 1+(5′-GAYYTIGGITGYGGIGIGGIRGITGG-3′) and Flavi 1-(5′-TCCCAICCIGCIRTRTCRTCIGC-3′), and Flavi 2+(5′-GYRTIYAYAWCAYSAT GGG-3′) and Flavi 2-(5′-CCARTGITCYKYRTTIAIRAA ICC-3′) for a second-round to obtain an amplicon product of 143 bp. Degenerated primers were designed based on conserved from a region of gene NS5, which encodes for the polymerase, to align with known flaviviruses sequences [20 (link)]. As a control for each species, complementary primers were used to sequence a mitochondrial gene mt DNA from bats [21 ]. The Yellow Fever Virus (YFV) vaccine prepared with an attenuated live virus strain 17D-204 (Sanofi-Pasteur, Lyon, France) was used as a positive control. As a negative control, molecular water grade was used. The obtained amplicons (Figure 1) were sequenced in both forward and reverse directions by Sanger method at Macrogen (Korea)

Pure metagenoms were PCR amplified for bacterial and archaeal 16S rRNA genes using the universal primers (Table 1, Supplementary data). One hundred Nano gram of DNA was used in a PCR reaction mixture (final volume of 50 µL)
containing 1.5 mM MgCl2, 1X Reaction buffer, 0.2 mM dNTP, 5 pmoL of each primer and 2.5 U Taq DNA polymerase. PCR was performed with an initial denaturation at 95 °C for 5 min, followed by 30 cycles of 95 °C for 60 s (denaturation), 50-54 °C for 60 s (annealing), 72 °C for 1.5 min (extension) and 72 °C for 10 min (final extension). The PCR products were visualized on 1% agarose gel in TAE buffer and then purified using the Roche High pure PCR purification kit.
The amplicons were ligated into pTz57 R/T vector, according to the Fermentas’s protocol. Ligation products were transformed into E. coli DH5α cells by heat shock transformation method ( 16
) and screened on LB/Ampicillin/IPTG/X-Gal plates in 37 °C for 16 h. The positive clones were selected based on the blue-white screening method; accordingly, white colonies were considered as recombinant clones and confirmed by PCR using vector specific primers M13F (5ˊ-GTAAAACGACGGCCAG-3ˊ) and M13R (5ˊ- CAGGAAACAGCTATGAC-3ˊ) ( 17 (link)
). Then, plasmids were extracted from positive clones by plasmid extraction Kit (Roche, Germany) for sequencing (Sanger method, Macrogen, South Korea).

Molecular Characterization of Key Genes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A set of four genes were selected, including succinyl CoA ligase (SCL), pyruvate decarboxylase-1 (PDC-1), acetyl-CoA synthetase (ACS), and histone deacetylase-6 (HDA-6).
The mRNA sequence of SCL, ACS, PCD-1, and HDA-6 genes was not available for these two species; therefore, the conserved domain of known sequences of the Lamiids clade was used for designing of degenerate primers (Table 1).
PCR was used for amplification of the selected segment of the mentioned genes. PCR amplification reactions (25 μL) contained 2.5 μL of 10x enzyme buffer, 1 mM MgCl2, 200 μM each of dATP, dCTP, dGTP, and dTTP (Sinaclon, Tehran, Iran), 0.4 μM each primer (Macrogen, Seoul, South Korea) (Table 1), 1 unit of Taq polymerase (Sinaclon, Tehran, Iran), and 100 ng of cDNA. The PCR cycles consisted of initial denaturation at 94 °C for 4 min, followed by 35 cycles of denaturation at 94 °C for 60 s, annealing at 46–56 °C for 45 s (Table 1), and extension at 72 °C for 1 min with a final extension at 72 °C for 5 min. The amplicons were later resolved on 1.2% agarose gel and then reverse primers were used for direct sequencing using the Sanger method (Macrogen, Seoul, South Korea). Next, these sequences were deposited on the NCBI database (SCL: MH444601, MH444602; ACS: MH444599, MH444600; PDC-1: MH602964, MH602965; and HDA-6: MH444603, MH570448).
