Amplified cDNA from Round B was purified using AMPure XP beads (Beckman Coulter, Brea, CA), and 1 μg DNA was used as input into Oxford Nanopore Genomic DNA MAP-003 Kits (Chik1, Ebola1) or MAP-004 Kits (HepC1, Ebola2) for generation of MinION Oxford Nanopore-compatible libraries [9 (link), 11 (link)]. Briefly, the steps include: (1) addition of control lambda phage DNA, (2) end-repair with the NEBNext End Repair Module, (3) 1× AMPure purification, (4) dA-tailing with the NEBNext dA-tailing Module, (5) ligation to protein-linked adapters HP/AMP (Oxford Nanopore Technologies, Oxford, UK) using the NEBNext QuickLigation Module for 10 min at room temperature, (6) purification of ligated libraries using magnetic His-Tag Dynabeads (Life Technologies), and (7) elution in 25 μL buffer (Oxford Nanopore Technologies). Lambda phage DNA was not added during preparation of the Ebola2 sample library.
