Nanopore-based Genomic Analysis Pipeline

HDF5 raw data were acquired by MinKNOW version 1.7 (Oxford Nanopore Technologies, UK), and local base-calling with demultiplexing setting was performed using Albacore version 2.3.4 (Oxford Nanopore Technologies, UK). The quality of the sequencing raw data was assessed using NanoStat127 (link). The data was indexed using Nanopolish128 (link) to link each sequencing read with its signal-level data in the HDF5 files. The base-called and indexed sequencing reads were aligned to the human reference genome assembly GRCh38 using BWA-MEM129 with the ont2d mode. SAMtools130 (link) was used to sort and index the aligned sequencing reads prior to variant- and methylation-calling via Nanopolish. The pipelines for the variant- and methylation-calling are described in more detail in the Supplementary Notes. The functional effect of the variants were predicted using open-source algorithms including PolyPhen-2131 (link), PANTHER132 (link), Envision133 , MutationAssessor134 (link), MutPred2135 and SNPs&GO136 (link). The mtDNA deletion was also determined via MitoDel137 and eKLIPse138 (link). MitoDel is a tool for detecting and quantifying mtDNA deletions even at low heteroplasmy levels via the BLAT split read mapping method. The eKLIPse pipeline uses soft clipping alignment analysis of sequencing reads to predict mtDNA deletions.

Nanopore Sequencing of High-Molecular-Weight DNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HMW DNA sequencing libraries were prepared from 400 ng of input DNA using the Ligation Sequencing kit (SQK-LSK109) along with the Native Barcoding Expansion Kit (EXP-NBD104) following the manufacturer’s (Oxford Nanopore Technologies, UK) protocols. The final libraries were then sequenced on a single flow cell (FLO-MIN106D) on the MinION, which was controlled using the MinKNOW version 3.4.8 software. Real-time base calling was turned off and was instead performed on the servers of the CSC—IT Center for Science, Finland, using Albacore version 2.3.4 (Oxford Nanopore Technologies, UK).

MinION Sequencing and VBD Index Calculation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
MinION sequencing was performed using the MinION Mk1b sequencer and FLO-MIN106 flow cells. Nucleotides of each read were called by Albacore version 2.1.3 (Oxford Nanopore Technologies), and the sequences were deposited in the DDBJ DRA database (https://www.ddbj.nig.ac.jp/dra/index-e.html) under the accession numbers DRR187692 to DRR187701. Bacterial species were assigned using the minimap2 software15 (link) with the bacterial genomes obtained from the GenomeSync database (http://genomesync.org) as we previously reported12 (link),13 (link).
We defined the VBD index as the proportion (%) of bacteria killed by the effect of antimicrobial drugs. This can be estimated from the number of sequencing reads. VBD index is calculated by (1 − (S × R0)/(R × S0)) × 100, where R and S are the numbers of reads from drug-resistant and drug-sensitive bacteria when antibiotics were used, and R0 and S0 are the numbers of reads from drug-resistant and drug-sensitive bacteria when no drug was used.

PCR-free nanopore whole-genome sequencing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
PCR-free whole-genome sequencing library was prepared using 500 ng DNA and a modified protocol of Rapid Sequencing Kit (SQK-RAD003, Oxford Nanopore Technologies, UK). Purification of 500 ng DNA was performed using 1x volume of AMPure XP beads (Beckman Coulter, USA) and elution from washed beads to 10 μL nuclease-free water at room temperature for 10 min. Purified DNA (436.5 ng in 7.5 μL) was subjected to transposome-based fragmentation and addition of adapters at 50 °C for 10 min. The library was sequenced using a MinION R9.4 flow cell (FLO-MIN106) for 44.5 h. Raw signals collected as FAST5 files were subjected to basecalling using Albacore version 2.1.3 (Oxford Nanopore Technologies, UK) on a Cray XC30 supercomputer. Sequencing reads were mapped to reference genome sequence hg19 using minimap2 [5] version 2.2-r424 (parameters -ax map-ont ). Breakpoint-spanning sequencing reads across two different chromosomes of interest were identified by SAMtools [6] version 1.3.1.

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.
