PubMed Article Population variation studies using PCR to amplify several genomic loci or short tandem repeats regions might not provide sufficiently high resolution to differentiate all strains from multiple locations8,9,10,11,12. Metagenomic (RNA) sequencing can be used to sequence and assemble the SARS-CoV-2 genome [10]. For the ARTIC v3 protocol, the average coverage at a subsampled read depth of 100,000 raw reads was 98.97% (10x) and 95.14% (100x) for all five test samples. Kunta, M. et al. This package imports data from Agilent automated electrophoresis systems (Bioanalyzer, TapeStation, Fragment Analyzer, ZAG DNA Analyzer, Femto Pulse) and includes functions to graph and analyze the data. The tailed amplicon v1 method produced lower coverage than the ARTIC v3 method, with 98.87% coverage at a minimum of 10x and 89.40% coverage at a minimum of 100x for the 25 PCR cycle sample and 97.09% coverage at a minimum of 10x and 81.31% coverage at a minimum of 100x for the 35 PCR cycle sample (Fig. The integrity of the extracted RNA was analyzed using the Agilent high sensitivity RNA screentape assay on Agilent 2200 TapeStation following the manufacturer's guidelines (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA). I am a little hesitant to recommend this as the machine is nearly 2 decades old now. The primers for the primary amplification contained both SARS-CoV-2 targeting sequences (derived from the ARTIC v3 designs), as well as adapter tails for adding indices and Illumina flow cell adapters in a secondary amplification. We sequenceda set of samples using Illuminas Nextera DNA Flex Enrichment protocol using a respiratory virus oligo panel containing probes for SARS-CoV-2, the ARTIC v3 tiled primers, and a novel tailed amplicon method designed to reduce cost and streamline the preparation of SARS-CoV-2 sequencing libraries.

The CV of the tailed amplicon v2 sample was 0.52 (comparable to the CV of 0.49 with the untailed ARTIC v3 approach). S1. With its unique design and intuitive features, common QC bottlenecks are resolved by the automation of key steps such as gel loading and sample injection increasing lab efficiency. We thank the staff of the University of Minnesota Genomics Center for helpful discussions and technical support. It is difficult to draw a comparison between alternative methods since only a few multiplex amplicon-based papers to sequence the whole SARS-CoV-2 genome have . We were able to efficiently get 99% coverage of the reference genome with over 70X sequence coverage using fewer than 5 million total reads even with a low to mid-titer pathogen sample (Cq value of 28.52). Cycling conditions were: 98C for 30s, followed by 25 or 35cycles of 98C for 15s and 65C for 5min. PubMedGoogle Scholar. Currently, conserved genomic loci, such as the 16S rRNA gene, are used to define the CLas species but lack the genetic variation to differentiate strains6,7. Thus, for testing the tailed amplicon v2 approach, and comparing among all four methods, we used a subset of these patient samples with N1 and N2 Ct values ranging from ~2035 (Fig. The Agilent 4200 TapeStation system (G2991AA) is an automated platform for scalable, flexible, faster and more reliable electrophoresis. 31(22), 36913693 (2015). Variants located outside of the region targeted by the amplicon panel were filtered out (reference genome positions 154 and 29,83629,903), and consensus sequences bases corresponding to those regions were trimmed. An estimated 10,000 viral genome copies were used as input for cDNA generation. Supplemental Fig. The 4-pool amplification scheme (tailed amplicon v2) achieved coverage metrics close to the untailed ARTIC v3 approach at comparable read depths with 99.60% coverage at a minimum of 10x and 95.64% coverage at a minimum of 100x (Fig. PacBio has become synonymous with their High Fidelity (HiFi) sequencing. Sufficient amplification to carry out TruSeq library prep was seen for samples with Cts of around 35 or less. Positive selection (like the SureSelect method described here) can enrich a target hundreds to thousands fold, making it possible to sequence low titer samples. Find products using our Selection Tool. We could tell you about the benefits our TapeStation systems have to offerbut we thought showing you would be better! 22, 10111020 (2009). Seemann, T. Prokka: rapid prokaryotic genome annotation. https://doi.org/10.1126/science.abc0523. The second strand synthesis reaction was incubated at 16C for 60min. Based on validation experiments for the University of Minnesota qRT-PCR clinical COVID-19 diagnostic assay, we estimate that a Ct value of 30 corresponds to roughly 500 SARS-CoV-2 genome copies and a Ct value of 35 corresponds to roughly 15 SARS-CoV-2 genome copies in the 5L input used for cDNA creation [18]. First, all DNA samples were sheared using a M220 sonicator (Covaris, Woburn, MA) (duty factor 20%, peak/Displayed Power (W) 50 and 200 cycles/burst for 30second duration time), and adaptors were ligated to end repaired DNA. 4200 TapeStation manual>Check Correct Insertion of Lower Nest Cover (page 165) and animation in Agilent Information Center (AIC) (Start Menu>Agilent TapeStation Software>AIC) 2200 TapeStation.

Capturing sequence diversity in metagenomes with comprehensive and scalable probe design. Besides the capability to sequencing medium to low titer samples, the total cost was also reduced by using SureSelect for the whole genome sequencing. After PCR, streptavidin beads were removed using a magnet stand, and the PCR products were further purified with AMPure XP beads. 1b). Not for use in diagnostic procedures. While the RNA tapes are still a bit lacking, my favorite is the genomic tape so you can look at much larger sizes. I see there a quite a few machines made for high throughput for NGS workflows, but I only need low throughput. We quantify and determine the integrity of your RNA or DNA prior to downstream applications such as library preparation. cDNA was amplified using each of the two ARTIC v3 primer pools which tile the SARS-CoV-2 genome.

The Agilent TapeStation system is an automated electrophoresis solution for the sample quality control of DNA and RNA samples. Here we describe an all-amplicon method for producing SARS-CoV-2 sequencing libraries which simplifies the process and lowers the per sample cost for sequencing SARS-CoV-2 genomes (Fig. Hence, non-target enrichment of samples still makes CLas genome sequencing quite difficult and costly, and is not suitable for sequencing low titer samples (e.g. cDNA was used to generate libraries using the Nextera DNA Flex Enrichment protocol (Illumina, San Diego, CA, catalog number 20025524) with the respiratory virus oligo panel including SARS-CoV-2 probes (Illumina, San Diego, CA, catalog number 20042472) according to manufacturers instructions. Tailed amplicon v1 amplicon relative abundance. Despite observing negligible amounts of primer dimer products on the bioanalyzer trace, samples with N1 and N2 Ct values greater than 30 had as much as 50% primer dimer in the resulting sequencing reads. Zheng, Z. et al. Phytopathology. Genome Biol. 2019;20:8. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13059-018-1618-7. Proceedings of the 2nd International Citrus Canker and Huanglongbing Research Workshop 2005, Orlando Florida, USA, p50 (2005). Raw reads were trimmed of adapter sequences and beginnings and ends trimmed where quality dropped to 0. The hybridized libraries were purified with Dynabeads MyOne Streptavidin T1 magnetic beads (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA), then the beads with captured DNA were washed one time with wash buffer 1 and five times with wash buffer 2 to remove non-specific binding. Samples with N1 and N2 Ct values ranging from approximately 2040 chosen for testing of SARS-CoV-2 sequencing workflows. We selected 9 SARS-CoV-2 positive patient samples spanning a range of viral loads as assessed by a qRT-PCR using the CDC primers targeting the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid gene (N1 and N2 targets, Supplemental Fig. Five patient samples with N1 and N2 Ct values ranging from ~2035 and the BEI WA isolate sample were selected for TruSeq library prep and sequencing; one sample (N1 Ct=20, N2 Ct=20.4) was prepared in triplicate. Consistent with other recent analyses of SARS-CoV-2 amplicon sequencing approaches [17], we observed highly concordant results from samples with N1 and N2 Ct values of less than 30. Genome sequences of the strains sequenced in this study are available in GenBank BioProject PRJNA631042. (a) LHCA samples at different Cq values: Cq 20 (blue), Cq 22 (red), Cq 26 (gray), Cq 28 (yellow). Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 from Patient with 2019 Novel coronavirus disease, United States. This approach has the disadvantage that samples must typically be sequenced very deeply in order to obtain sufficient coverage of the viral genome, and thus the cost of this approach is high relative to more targeted methods. A modified non-directional NEBNext Ultra II First and Second Strand (#E7771 and #E6111, New England Biolabs, Ipswich, MA) protocol was used to generate long fragments of double-stranded cDNA as input material for the Nextera DNA Flex Enrichment with respiratory virus panel.

Briefly, three separate 10L RT-qPCR reactions were set up in a 384-well Barcoded plate (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) for either the N1, N2, or RP primers and probes. The ARTIC v3 libraryprepared with TruSeq library preparation achieved 99.60% coverage at a minimum of 10x and 97.31% coverage at a minimum of 100x (Fig. 3e, Supplemental Fig. We thank Brandon Vanderbush for conducting QC on the SARS-CoV-2 samples and sequencing libraries. 2c-d). Nine samples spanning a range of viral loads as assessed by the Ct values of the viral N1 and N2 targets by qRT-PCR were selected for these studies. Several large-scale consortia in the UK (COG-UK: COVID-19 Genomics UK), Canada (CanCOGeN: Canadian COVID Genomics Network), and the United States (CDC SPHERES: SARS-CoV-2 Sequencing for Public Health Emergency Response, Epidemiology, and Surveillance) have begun coordinated efforts to sequence large numbers of SARS-CoV-2 genomes. We also provide accurate quantification and sizing of NGS library. Reactions were run on a QuantStudio QS5 (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA) using the following cycling conditions: one cycle of 45C for 15min, followed by one cycle of 95C for 2min, followed by 45cycles of 95C for 15s and 60C for 1min. $12,500 USD. The IRB panel used WORKSHEET: Human Research (HRP-310) to make the determination that this study was exempt as not human research as defined by DHHS regulations. The ARTIC network (https://artic.network/) has established a method for preparing amplicon pools in order to sequence SARS-CoV-2 (Fig. Interested in learning more about the TapeStation systems and how easy-to-use ScreenTape technology can give you a faster time to results and constant per-sample costs in sample quality control? It works for me as well as the Bioanalyzer but the sample cost is about 4 times lower. The pan-genome phylogenetic tree based on core genes also demonstrates a similar branching pattern. For samples with N1 and N2 Ct vales of less than 30, average coverage was 99.92% (10x) and 99.62% (100x) at a subsampled read depth of 100,000 raw reads (Supplemental Tables12). Differentiation of Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus isolates by variable-number tandem-repeat analysis. Features 4).

Huanglongbing: a destructive, newly emerging, century-old disease of citrus. ISSN 2045-2322 (online). Genomic DNA was extracted from petiole and leaf midrib tissue using the DNeasy Plant Mini Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA). 2e). a In Illuminas Nextera DNA Flex Enrichment protocol cDNA is tagmented and made into barcoded sequencing libraries, which are then enriched using sequence capture with a respiratory virus panel containing probes against SARS-CoV-2. Andersen KG, Rambaut A, Lipkin WI, Holmes EC, Garry RF. Deng, X. et al. For target selection, pre-designed probes are added to the mixed genomic DNA extracts and capture their complimentary DNA sequences through complimentary hybridization, allowing the uncaptured DNA to be removed during wash steps. This allows functional sequencing libraries to be created through a second indexing PCR reaction that adds sample-specific barcodes and flow cell adapters. Optical and PCR duplicates were flagged in alignment files using Picard v.2.10.5 (http://broadinstitute.github.io/picard). Phytopathology. While adjusting the primer concentration for over-represented amplicons did lower the CV of the tailed amplicon pool, amplicon balance was still substantially worse than with the untailed ARTIC v3 primers (data not shown).
