Variable analysis
- Shearing of genomic DNA to 100–400 bp (mean distribution 150 bp) using an LE220 ultrasonicator (Covaris)
- Library preparation using NEBNext Ultra II DNA Library preparation kit and unique dual indexed barcodes (Integrated DNA Technologies)
- Amplification of dual indexed samples with 6 cycles of PCR using KAPA HiFi kit (Roche)
- Pooling of amplified samples in pre-assigned groups of 48 or 32 to generate equimolar pools based on total DNA concentration
- Hybridization of pooled DNA (500 ng) using 120-mer RNA baits (SureSelect Target enrichment system, Agilent technologies; bait design ELID ID 0616571)
- Sequencing of enriched libraries on Illumina HiSeq 4000 to generate 150 bp paired-end reads
- Sequencing of one rabbit-passaged sample (TPA_AUSMELT-1) on Illumina NextSeq 500 (150 bp paired-end reads, Nextera DNA Flex libraries) without any previous enrichment to an estimated 1 Gb per sample
- Input DNA concentration (500 ng) for hybridization using 120-mer RNA baits
- Library preparation kit (NEBNext Ultra II DNA Library preparation kit)
- Amplification kit (KAPA HiFi kit)
- Sequencing platform (Illumina HiSeq 4000 and Illumina NextSeq 500)

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.
