DNA was extracted from blood by a standard salting out method. For amplification of microsatellite markers (D3S3642, D3S3590, D3S2305, D3S3562, D3S2748) PCR primer sequences were retrieved from the Ensembl Genome Browser (http://www.ensembl.org). Forward primers were 5’labeled with 6-carboxyfluorescein (6-FAM) and reverse primers were unlabeled. PCR products were mixed with a fluorescent size marker (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA) and analyzed on ABI PRISM 377 DNA sequencer (Applied Biosystems). Fragment lengths were analyzed with the Gene Mapper software (Applied Biosystems).
For the amplification of all OPA1 exons PCR primers were designed with the Primer 3 Plus public domain software (http://primer3plus.com/cgi-bin/dev/primer3plus.cgi) and the OPA1 gene NG_011605.1 reference sequence. The OPA1 exon amplicons were sequenced using the BigDye Termination cycle sequencing kit v3.1 (Applied Biosystems) and analyzed on ABI PRISM 377 DNA sequencer (Applied Biosystems). The results were visualized by the Variant Reporter Software v1.1 (Applied Biosystems). PCR primers and reaction conditions are available upon request.

According to the previous studies [11 (link)–23 (link)], the SNPs which were found to be related to the development of psychiatric disorders were selected from the 1000 genome database of Han Chinese in Beijing, China (CHB) (http://www.internationalgenome.org/). We focused on eight SNPs in the OXTR gene, including rs1042778, rs13316193, rs2254298, rs2268494, rs237889, rs237897, rs53576, rs6770632.
Venous blood samples were collected from 765 subjects (342 subjects in BP group and 423 subjects in non-BP group). Genetic DNA was extracted using Sunshinebio TM blood genomic DNA Extraction Kit (Sunshinebio, Nanjing, China) following the manufacturer’s instructions. The extracted DNA was diluted to a concentration of 50 ng/μL. Genotyping of the OXTR SNPs applied multiple PCR technology and high-throughput sequencing technology. The primers showed in Additional file 1: Table S1. Multiple PCR amplification was performed using PERKIN ELMER Gene Amp PCR system 9600 (Applied Biosystems, Shanghai, China). Different samples were distinguished by different Barcode primers, and the high flux sequencing of the amplified products was performed using ABI PRISM 377 DNA Sequencer (Applied Biosystem, Shanghai, China). Several samples failed to be genotyped, but the call rates for all SNPs almost reached 95% (Table 2).

LAMP Reaction Evaluation and Verification

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The LAMP reaction was evaluated by visual inspection based on its generation of turbidity proportional to the amount of amplified DNA [21 (link)]. For further confirmation, a Loopamp real-time turbidimeter (LA-200 real-time turbidimeter; Eiken Chemical Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan) was used to monitor the turbidity in the reaction tube in real-time by reading the OD650 every 6 s. We used the application software for the turbidimeter to obtain the amplification time required to exceed a turbidity level of 0.1 (Tt), according to the manufacturer’s protocol [21 (link)]. For the detection limit study, a colorimetric visual inspection dye (Kaneka, Co., Ltd., Osaka, Japan) dried down in the caps of the reaction tubes was used [22 (link)]. After the reactions, the LAMP amplicons were mixed with the dye by inverting the tubes and the color changes were observed.
To verify their structure, the amplified LAMP products were sequenced using a BigDye Terminator v. 3.1 cycle sequencing kit (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA) and an ABI PRISM 377 DNA sequencer (Applied Biosystems) according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The target region was between F2 and B2, and the primer sequences were from the F2 and B2 regions (Fig 1).

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.
