Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Soil DNA was extracted in 2011 and in 2017, from 400 mg of soil (not sieved), 3- to 6-times, using the DNeasy PowerSoil Kit (Qiagen GmbH, Hilden, Germany) following the manufacturer’s protocol. Data for one plot in 2011 was missing, data for all 150 plots was available in 2017. Specific primers for Cercozoa and Endomyxa were used to amplify, by two semi-nested PCRs, the V4 region of the 18 S rRNA gene. Libraries were prepared using TruSeqDNA PCR-Free (Illumina, San Diego, CA, US). Sequencing was performed with a MiSeq v3 Reagent kit of 300 cycles (on a MiSeq Desktop Sequencer, Illumina). The bioinformatics pipeline was conducted with Mothur v. 39.5. After assembling and quality filtering, sequences were clustered at 97% similarity, and rare clusters (<0.01% of the reads) were removed. OTUs were identified in the PR2 database using BLASTn with an e-value of 1e50 and keeping only the best hit. Chimeric OTUs were identified using UCHIME and removed61 .

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA was prepared for sequencing using 1 µg of input following the TruSeq DNA PCR-free protocol (Illumina, San Diego, CA). Libraries were sequenced on the Illumina MiSeq instrument as paired-end 2 × 151 base pair reads. Raw fastq reads were trimmed of adapter sequences using cutadapt version 1.1253 (link) and then trimmed and filtered for quality using the FASTX-Toolkit 0.0.14 (Hannon Lab, CSHL). The remaining reads were mapped to the Chlamydia trachomatis genome (NC_000117.1, NC_017435.1) using Bowtie2 version 2.2.954 (link) with parameters –local –no-mixed -X 1000. PCR duplicates were removed using picard MarkDuplicates (Broad Institute) and variants were called using GATK HaplotypeCaller version 4.1.2.055 (link) with parameter -ploidy 1.

Whole-Genome Sequencing and Variant Calling

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After TruSeq DNA PCR-free (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) library preparation, WGS was performed on genomic DNA isolated from peripheral blood at Baylor College of Medicine (Houston, TX, USA) using Illumina HiSeq instrument to obtain an average of 36-fold genome coverage (range from 25- to 39-fold). Paired-end reads were aligned to human reference genome (GRCh37/hg19) using BWA-mem [43 (link)]. SNVs were called from aligned reads using GATK (v2.7) as previously described [44 (link)–46 (link)].
After applying filters for variant quality (GATK VQSR, ≥10 total reads, genotype quality score ≥30 and alternate allele fraction between 0.2–0.8 and ≥0.9 for heterozygous and homozygous SNPs, respectively), we retained for further analysis those SNVs with MAF ≤1% in the 1000 Genomes Project (1000G) [6 (link)] and Genome Aggregation Database (GnomAD) [7 (link)] (http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/about) databases, as well as in our cohort (n = 247).

DNA was extracted in triplicate from the same 50 mL sample using the FastDNA ® Spin Kit for Soil (MP Biomedicals GmbH, Eschwege, Germany) in combination with the Genomic DNA Clean & ConcentratorTM purification kit (Zymo Research, Irvine, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Metagenomic sequence libraries were constructed in triplicate for each DNA triplicate according to the “TruSeq DNA PCR-free” protocol (Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA, USA) and subsequently sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq platform (2 × 250 bp, paired-end mode, two lanes per sample).

Genomic and Transcriptomic Sequencing of Spain Individuals

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genomic DNA was extracted from testis and leg muscle samples of the two Spain individuals using the GenElute Mammalian Genomic DNA Miniprep Kit (Sigma-Aldrich) following the manufacturer’s indications. Libraries were constructed using the Illumina TruSeq DNA PCR-Free method with an insert size of ~350 bp and sequenced on the HiSeq X Ten platform, yielding at least 17 Gb per sample (coverage ~14×) of 2 × 151 bp paired-end reads. RNA was extracted from testis and leg muscle from the same individuals using the RNeasy Lipid Tissue Kit (Qiagen) following the manufacturer’s indications. Libraries were constructed with the TruSeq mRNA Sample Prep Kit v2 and sequenced using the HiSeq4000 platform, yielding ~10 Gb per sample of 2 × 101 bp paired-end reads. Trimming was done using Trimmomatic38 (link) v0.33 with options ILLUMINACLIP:TruSeq3-PE.fa:2:30:10 LEADING:3 TRAILING:3 SLIDINGWINDOW:4:20 MINLEN:100.

Virion DNA Extraction and Sequencing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Virion DNA was extracted as described by Jakočiūnė and Moodley (72 (link)) after PEG precipitation, starting from step 3.2. Residual bacterial DNA was removed by treating samples with DNase I and RNase at 37°C. The phage protein capsid was digested with Proteinase K, and the DNeasy blood and tissue kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) was used to purify the DNA. The quantity and quality of the purified DNA was checked by a Qubit fluorometer and a NanoDrop spectrometer. Library preparation (Illumina TruSeq DNA PCR-Free), sequencing, and quality checks were done on the Biomics sequencing platform of the Institut Pasteur (C2RT) (Paris, France) by short reads (paired-end, 250 bp length) on a MiSeq system (Illumina, San Diego, U.S.).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Bacterial contamination in the AMAZONIE culture was minimised by filtration, and DNA and RNA were extracted using standard protocols detailed in Additional file 2: Methods S4. Nanopore sequencing was performed using 4 μg of genomic DNA. The DNA was sheared at 20 kbp using Covaris g-TUBE (Covaris) according to the manufacturer’s protocol. After shearing, two libraries were prepared using a Ligation Sequencing Kit from Oxford Nanopore Technologies (SQK-LSK108). The prepared library was loaded onto a R9.4.1 Spot-On Flow cell (FLO-MIN106). Sequencing was performed on a MinION Mk1B machine for 48 h using the MinKNOW 2.0 software. Basecalling was performed using Guppy 3.0.3 with the Flip-flop algorithm. Illumina sequencing of the genomic DNA was performed using 1 μg of genomic DNA with Illumina HiSeq 2000 (2 × 150 bp) paired-end technology, with libraries prepared using TruSeq DNA PCR-Free (Illumina, San Diego, CA), at Macrogen Inc.

Whole Genome Sequencing Library Preparation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Libraries using 1100 ng gDNA for WGS were prepared with TruSeq DNA PCR-Free (Illumina, San Diego, CA, US) for all patients except for Pat5 and Pat9. Due to limited sample availability, the libraries for Pat5 and Pat9 were prepared with 200 ng input gDNA using NxSeq AmpFREE Low DNA Library Kit (Lucigen, Biosearch Technologies, UK). Briefly, gDNA was fragmented with Covaris E220 (Covaris, MA, US) to obtain insert size of approximately 350 base pairs (bp). The fragments were end-repaired and a-tailed, followed by ligation of unique dual index adaptors (Illumina). Library quantification was performed by KAPA Library Quantification Kit (Roche) and sequencing was done on a NovaSeq 6000 system (Illumina) using paired-end 150 bp readout, aiming at 300 million (M) paired reads.

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.
