Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) DNA was extracted using the MagPure FFPE DNA LQ Kit following the manufacturer’s instruction. The sample’s concentration was detected by Qubit fluorometer. The integrity and purification of samples were detected by agarose gel electrophoresis. One nanogram and more FFPE DNA were randomly fragmented by Covaris. Fragmented DNAs were tested by Agilent 2100 and purified by the Agencourt AMPure XP kit. The selected fragments were end-repair and 3′ adenylated; at the same time, the adapters were ligated to the ends of these 3′ adenylated fragments. These fragments were amplified with KAPA HiFi HotStart DNA polymerase, and the PCR products were purified with the Agencourt AMPure XP kit. The library was qualified by the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer and ABI StepOnePlus real-time PCR (RT-PCR) system. The qualified libraries were sequenced pair end on the Hiseq4000/Xten/Novaseq system (BGI, Shenzhen, China). We used Genome Analysis Toolkit software to detect (Single Nucleotide Variants) SNVs and indels. All SNVs and indels were filtered and estimated via multiple databases, including Genome Aggregation Database and Exome Aggregation Consortium. Common variants and rare variants were classified according to minor allele frequencies (MAFs; common variants: MAF ≥0.01, rare variants: MAF <0.01).14 (link)

A sequencing library was prepared using the SMRTbell Template Prep Kit 1.0 (Pacific Biosciences of California, Menlo Park, CA, USA). Libraries for 2 SMRT cells (~10 μg) were constructed using two different methods. Small library fragments were removed using BluePippin from one SMRT cell (Sage Science, Beverly, MA, USA) with a 10-kb cut-off. In the other cell, small library fragments were not removed.

PCR products were purified (Ampure XP Kit, Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA, USA) and sequenced in both directions on a 3730 × l DNA Analyzer 96-capillary sequencer (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA). We used CodonCode Aligner version 3.7.1 software (Codon Code Corporation, Dedham, MA, USA) to edit sequences, compared them to the GenBank database content with BLAST, and deposited them in GenBank (accession numbers in Table 1). Species identification was confirmed with the BOLD identification engine [67 (link)].

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.
