Plasmid DNA encoding Firefly luciferase mRNA under the control of the T7 RNA polymerase promoter (pLGENB1) was used as DNA template in PCR reactions. C-less 5’UTR Firefly luciferase DNA templates were generated by high fidelity PCR using Q5 Hot Start High-Fidelity 2X Master Mix (NEB, Cat. #: M0494), and a forward primer specific for the first 20 nt of the Firefly luciferase CDS with an overhang corresponding to the T7 promoter and a 5’UTR lacking cytidines (See Table S1 for oligonucleotide sequence). The reverse primer annealed to the last 20 nucleotides (nt) of the 3 ’UTR.
C-less 3’UTR Firefly luciferase DNA templates were generated by high fidelity PCR using the Q5 Hot Start High-Fidelity 2X Master Mix (NEB, Cat. #: M0494), and a reverse primer annealing to the last 20 nt of the Firefly luciferase CDS with an overhang containing the stop codon and a 20 nt C-less 3’UTR. The forward primer annealed to the T7 promoter and the first 20 nt of the 5’UTR of Firefly luciferase CDS (See Table S1 for oligonucleotide sequence). PCR amplicons were purified using AMPure XP beads (Beckman Coulter, Cat. #:A63881) and used for in vitro transcription.

Forward: 5′- TGGCACTTGATGTAATTCTCCTTGGA −3′
Reverse: 5′- TTAAAGCAGCGTATCCACATAGCGT −3′
PCR cycling program:
1. 95 C 30 s
2. 98 C 10 s
3. 69 C 30 s (Annealing temperature when using Q5 Hot Start High-
Fidelity 2X Master Mix (New England BioLabs))
4. 72 C 2.5 min
5. Go to Step 2 34 times
6. 72 C 2 min
7. 4 C hold
A full 96-well PCR reaction was used for each gDNA sample. Each PCR reaction is in 50 uL, and with 250 ng gDNA. Q5 Hot Start High-Fidelity 2X Master Mix (New England BioLabs) was used as DNA polymerase. 1/3 of 96 PCR reactions of a gDNA sample were pooled, concentrated with Qiagen PCR cleanup kit, and then purified by 1% agarose gel.

cDNA synthesis was performed using Luna Script RT Super Mix Kit (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA, USA). The reaction mixture had a volume of 20 μL including 4 μL of 5× Luna Script RT Super Mix, 10 μL of purified viral RNA template, and 6 μL of distilled water, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The synthesized cDNAs were diluted with nuclease-free water and used as templates for direct amplification performed in multiplexed PCR reactions, to generate ~400 bp amplicons tiled across the genome. The multiplex primer set, consisting of two non-overlapping primer pools, was provided by the ARTIC Network (V3 nCov-2019 primers) (ARTIC primer set [14 ]). PCR amplification was carried out using Q5 Hot Start High-Fidelity 2X Master Mix (New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA, USA) with 6 μL of cDNA and 3.6 µl of V3 primer pool per a 25 µL reaction. Two separate reactions were carried out for each primer pool, respectively, primer pool 1 (10 µM) and 2 (10 µM). A two-step PCR program was used with an initial step of 98 °C for 30 s, then 35 cycles of 98 °C for 15 s followed by five minutes at 65 °C.

ARTIC V4.1 primer panel was purchased from IDT (Artic V4.1 NCOV-2019 Panel, 500rxn, 10011442). Olivar primers were ordered in tubes from Sigma Aldrich and mixed by hand to achieve the final concentration of 15 nanomolar (nM) per primer. Reverse transcription of synthetic RNA control and extracted wastewater RNA were conducted using 8 uL of sample RNA and LunaScript RT SuperMix kit (NEB, E3010), as described in ref. 17 . To avoid bias attributed to reverse transcription, for each sample, the total volume of 10 uL cDNA product were gently homogenized by pipetting then divided into four 2.5 uL aliquots for the downstream PCR amplification reactions (using primer pool 1 and 2 of ARTIC V4.1, and using primer pool 1 and 2 of Olivar). PCR amplification was also performed using Q5 Hot Start High-Fidelity 2X Master Mix (NEB M0494) as described in ref. 17 . PCR products were purified using AmPureTM XP beads (Beckman Coulter Inc., A63880). A high bead-to-sample ratio of 1.8 was applied to maximize the potentials of capturing PCR byproduct. Purified DNA samples were normalized to 20 ng/uL in 25 uL and submitted for amplicon sequencing service at Azenta (EZ-Amplicon), with paired-end (2× 250bp), adapter trimmed Illumina reads output. The concentration of amplicons was measured using Qubit dsDNA HS kit and a Qubit 2.0 fluorometer (Invitrogen).

gDNA was extracted from cells using the JetQuick Blood and Cell Culture DNA Midiprep Kit (Thermo Fisher). PCR was then used to amplify the sgRNA inserts and append Illumina adaptors and hexamer barcodes to the amplicons. See Supplemental S8 for primer sequences and thermocycling. PCR was performed using the Q5 Hot Start High-Fidelity 2X Master Mix (New England Biolabs). Before creating the amplicon library, dPCR was used to assay the copy number of sgRNA inserts in extracted genomic DNA. Sufficient genomic DNA template was used to ensure a minimum read depth of 300 per sample. PCR products were then pooled, concentrated by isopropanol precipitation, and gel purified on a 2% agarose gel before sequencing. Gel extraction was carried out with the PureLink Gel Extraction kit (Thermo Fisher). The purified, barcoded amplicon libraries were then pooled and sequenced as single-read 50 bp reads on the Illumina HiSeq 4,000 (Illumina).

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.
