The sequencing library preparation was performed using SQK-LSK108 1D ligation genomic DNA kit following the procedures described below. For each DNA sample, 1.5–2.0 μg of DNA recovered from agarose gel purification was used.

End-repair and dA-tailing were performed using the NEBNext Ultra II End-Repair/dA-tailing Module. In detail, 7 μL of Ultra II End-Prep buffer, 3 μL of Ultra II End-Prep enzyme mix, 5 μL of NFW, and ~ 1.2 μg of DNA were mixed and incubated at 20 °C for 20 min at first followed by another incubation at 65 °C for 15 min.

Sixty microliters of AMPure XP beads was used for purification.

Ligation was performed by adding 20 μL of Adaptor Mix and 50 μL of Blunt/TA Ligation Master Mix to the 30 μL of dA-tailed DNA and then incubation was performed at room temperature for 15 min.

Another purification for the removal of remaining adapters from the adapter-ligated DNA was conducted using 40 μL of AMPure XP beads and ABB buffer supplied in the kit. The purified-ligated DNA was resuspended using 25 μL of ELB, and then the concentration was measured by Qubit to ensure ≥ 500 ng of DNA was retained.

Finally, MinION sequencing was performed using R9.4 flow cells (FLO-MIN 106). A total of eleven independent MinION runs were conducted for all the samples.

For cnRNA-seq, 2x107 mouse ESCs (untreated or treated with auxin or dTAG-13 compound for indicated times) were mixed with 8x106Drosophila SG4 cells in PBS. Nuclei were released in 1 mL HS Lysis buffer (50 mM KCl, 10 mM MgSO4.7H20, 5 mM HEPES, 0.05% NP40, 1 mM PMSF, 3 mM DTT, 1x PIC) for 1 min at room temperature, and recovered by centrifugation at 1000 g for 5 min at 4°C, followed by three washes with ice-cold RSB buffer (10 mM NaCl, 10 mM Tris pH 7.4, 3 mM MgCl2). Pelleted nuclei were resuspended in 1 mL of TRIzol reagent and RNA was extracted according to the manufacturer’s protocol, followed by treatment with the TURBO DNA-free Kit. Quality of RNA was assessed using 2100 Bioanalyzer RNA 6000 Pico kit (Agilent). Next, rRNA was depleted using the NEBNext rRNA Depletion kit (NEB). RNA-seq libraries were prepared using the NEBNext Ultra (for PRC1deg) or Ultra II (for PRC2deg) Directional RNA Library Prep kit (NEB), indexed using NEBNext Multiplex Oligos (NEB), polled and sequenced as 80 bp (PRC1deg) or 40 bp (PRC2deg) paired-end reads on the Illumina NextSeq 500 in biological triplicates.

Whole-Genome Bisulfite Sequencing for TKO Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Whole-genome bisulphite sequencing for TKO cells expressing DNMT3A and DNMT3B was performed as described (16 (link)). In brief, 6 ug sonicated, genomic DNA were pre-mixed with SssI-methylated phage T7 and unmethylated phage Lambda DNA (both 10 ng, sonicated) and sequencing libraries were prepared using the NEB ULTRA and ULTRAII kits following manufacturer's instructions for genomic DNA library construction and using methylated adaptors (NEB E7535S). Adaptor-ligated DNA was converted by sodium bisulphite using the Qiagen Epitect bisulphite conversion kit. Converted libraries were enriched by 10 cycles of PCR with the following reaction composition: 1 μl Pfu TurboCx Hotstart DNA polymerase (Stratagene), 5 μl PfuTurbo Cx reaction buffer, 25 μM dNTPs, 1 μl universal and 1 μl index primer. PCR cycling parameters were: 95°C for 2 min, 98°C for 30 s, then 10 cycles of 98°C for 15 s, 65°C for 30 s and 72°C for 3 min, ending with one 72°C for 5 min step. The reaction products were purified twice using Ampure-XT beads. Quality of the libraries and size distribution were assessed on an Agilent High Sensitivity tape station. Libraries were sequenced on Illumina HiSeq and NovaSeq machines. All newly generated datasets (Supplementary Table S1) have been deposited to Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), under accession number: GSE151992.

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.
