Pooled diploid barcode library DNA extraction

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Genomic DNA of the pooled diploid barcode library was extracted using the MasterPure Yeast DNA Purification Kit (epicentre #MPY80200). To completely remove RNA, an extra RNase treatment, DNA precipitation with isopropanol, and washing with 70% ethanol were added after the recommended protocol from the manufacturer. Double barcode amplicons were generated using a two-step PCR protocol22 (link). Briefly, a 5-cycle PCR with OneTaq polymerase (New England Biolabs) was performed in 60 reactions for the large double barcode library, amplifying ∼1,000 copies per unique lineage tag. The PCR products were then pooled and purified with PCR Cleanup columns (Qiagen) at six PCR reactions per column. A second 23-cycle PCR was performed with high-fidelity PrimerSTAR Max plolymerase (Takara) in 30 reactions, with 15 μl of cleaned product from the first PCR as template and 50 μl total volume per tube. PCR products from all reaction tubes were pooled and purified using a PCR Cleanup column (Qiagen) and eluted into 50 μl of water. The appropriate PCR band was isolated by E-Gel agarose gel electrophoresis (Life Technologies) and quantitated by Qubit fluorometry (Life Technologies). Sequencing was performed on an Illumina HiSeq 2500 with 25% PhiX DNA spike-in. The PhiX DNA was necessary to increase the read complexity for proper calibration of the instrument (see ref. 22 (link)).

REMI was performed essentially as previously described37 (link). To generate vectors bearing restriction-enzyme sites at DNA ends, the plasmid pHygTm(plus)/pG7 (containing a Hygromycin cassette) was cut with BamH1 (NEB), treated with calf intestinal alkaline phosphatase (NEB) and purified on PCR clean up columns (QIAGEN®). 4.5 × 106 cells per condition were transfected with 2 µg of BamH1-linearised construct with or without 20 units of the restriction-enzyme BamH1 (NEB). Electroporated cells were spread on four 140 mm plates with axenic HL5 media. 24 h after transfection, hygromycin (35 μg/ml) was added for 5 days. Afterwards, plates were washed with KK2, fixed with 3.7% formaldehyde and stained with Crystal Violet solution. Colonies were counted and REMI induction calculated as the ratio of colony numbers with and without BamH1. Graphs of data were constructed using Excel 2016.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MIN6 cells were cultured with or without 10 μmol/L PIO for 48 h in a 10‐cm dish. We carried out the chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) assay using an EZ‐ChIP chromatin immunoprecipitation kit (Merck Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). After fixing with 1% formaldehyde, cells were lysed, briefly sonicated and immunoprecipitated at 4°C overnight. The following antibodies were used in the ChIP reactions: normal rabbit immunoglobulin G (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA), anti‐acetyl histone H3 (Merck Millipore) and anti‐peroxisome‐proliferator activated receptor (PPAR; Santa Cruz Biotechnology). We washed the ChIP reactions, and eluted chromatin based on the manufacturer’s protocol. Chromatin was purified with PCR clean up columns (Qiagen), and PCRs were carried out with AmpliTaq Gold PCR Master Mix (Thermofisher).
The following primers, designed for mouse genes, were used.
ADM‐P1 forward: 5′‐ CAAACTTGGCAAGCACTCAG‐3′
ADM‐P1 reverse: 5′‐ AATGGGCTAGGACACACTCC‐3′

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Total RNA was purified from transduced cells (Qiagen #75144) and concentrated 7.5X using an RNA Cleanup Kit (NEB #T2040L). RNA was reverse transcribed according to manufacturer guidelines with STARR-Seq transcript–specific primers (Supplemental Table 1) with SuperScript IV (Invitrogen #18090010), using twice the recommended RNA input. cDNA was purified using a Reaction Cleanup Kit (Qiagen #28206) and amplified using custom STARR-Seq transcript–specific primers (Supplemental Table 1) as previously described [15 (link)]. Diluted Lenti-STARR-Seq plasmid ‘input’ control was amplified using an input concentration that yielded the same amplification cycle number as the STARR library for hCD4+ Donor I. PCR amplified library was purified using PCR cleanup columns (Qiagen #28206) and quantified for PE-150 bp sequencing (Novogene).

High-Throughput Yeast DNA Sequencing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
DNA was extracted using the MasterPure Yeast DNA purification kit (Epicentre, MPY80200), and concentrations were measured by Qubit. A sub-sample (150 ng) was taken from each sample to serve as a template for four-cycle PCR in which the barcode region was linearly amplified, and the internal index and UMI were added (Fig 1G). Five samples from this reaction were pooled on a Qiagen PCR clean-up column (Cat. 28104) and eluted in a 50 μL elution buffer. These samples were further cleaned by 1.8× Ampure XP beads (Cat. A63881). From each pool, 10 μL were used for a 12–17 cycles PCR using Illumina indexed primers. Samples were purified using 1.8× Ampure XP beads, and their quality was evaluated using Agilent Tape-station (Cat. 5067–5584) and Qubit concentration measurements (Cat. Q32853). All samples were diluted to a concentration of 0.5 ng/μL, and 10 μL of each diluted sample was used to create the final library. This sample was further diluted to a final concentration of 2 nM in a final volume of 100 μL. The library was sequenced at the Weizmann Institute of Science’s G-INCPM unit on an Illumina NovaSeq platform with the following cycles: 29|10|10|26.

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.
