This is a protocol based on Kappa LTP Preparation Kit manual KR0453 - v3.13
The main difference centers around the use of 1/2 volume in each reaction so as to get twice as many sample preps for the same price.
This was validated on 2 extremely similar clonal samples from Gabo by DED in July of 2014, and the final data was indistinguishable between the 1x volume sample and the 0.5x volume sample.
This has subsequently been used in more than a dozen (4-15-15) other preps (rare variant and clonal) without incident.
This protocol is for rare variant applications. It is a waste of time, money, and reagents to use this protocol on samples which you do not expect and/or are not interested in mutations that exist at a frequency of <1%. Consider which protocol is best before proceeding. Please click here for standard protocol.

Before Beginning and Important Notes

  1. Low retention tubes and filter tips should be used at every step. Regular tips commonly used for EtOH removal during wash steps.
  2. Before starting make sure ligated adapters are available in cardboard box labeled 'Anealed adapters'.
    ALERT! Importance of this box/these tubes never reaching RT cannot be underscored enough
  3. WFI water should be used for all steps where water is needed. Aliquots of water should be taken from bottle to avoid contamination.
  4. A 2 barcode system is currently being employed. There are 6 annealed adapters corresponding to 1 of 6 internal barcodes (IBC). External barcode(s) (EBC) are added to samples in the PCR step. Identical EBC can and should be pooled together to meet the sequencing core's minimum requirement of 10million reads per sample. NEVER pool identical IBC as this type of pooling can not be reassigned at the data step.
  5. Sample should never be vortexed, always thoroughly mixed by pipetting. This is done to avoid sample getting near the top of the tube and increasing contamination risk during magnetic bead clean up.
  6. "Freshly prepared 80% EtOH" for cleanup reactions should be prepared daily, and be made combining 100% EtOH with WFI water.
  7. Several different alternative options are available, steps which have alternative strategies are marked as such.

Adapter Anealation

TIP Note, this step is only necessary if 'Anealed Rare Adapters' box is empty. This should be a rare step.
  1. Mix the following in a PCR tube:
    • 20µl of Adapter_forward# (100pmol/µl)
    • 20µl of MI_Reverse# (100pmol/µl)
  2. Use thermocycler with following conditions to anneal the 2 primers together:
    1. 97C 2minutes
    2. 97C 1minute
      1. Repeat previous step for 72 total cycles at -1C per cycle
    3. 25C 5 minutes
      After this step, adapters should NEVER be warmed above 25C.
  3. To the annealed adapters, add the following extension reaction reagents (can be done as a master mix, ALERT! cross contamination is huge concern here):
Item Amount
WFI water 5.5µl
10x NEB 2 Buffer 6µl
2.5mM dNTP 6µl
Klenow exo- (5 units/µl) 2.5µl
  1. Incubate 1 hr at 37°C in thermocycler.
  2. Ethanol precipitate by adding the following. Note the times and spins of this precipitation are excessive, but they are an attempt to increase recovery as the adapters are quite expensive:
Item Amount
Glycogen (20µg/µl) 2µl
NaOAC (3M pH 5.2) 6.2µl
100% EtOH 170.5µl
  1. Mix well and precipitate overnight at -20°C
  2. Spin at max speed for 30 minutes at 4°C.
  3. Decant carefully and/or pipette without disturbing pellet.
  4. Add 1mL 70% EtOH and resuspend via flicking tube.
  5. Spin at max speed for 30 minutes at 4°C.
  6. Decant carefully and/or pipette without disturbing pellet.
  7. Air dry 10 minutes inverted sitting on fresh kimwipe.
  8. Air dry 5 minutes upright near burning flame.
  9. Resuspend in 40µl of WFI water.
  10. dA tail the adapters by adding the following:
Item Amount
WFI water 5.5µl
10x NEB 2 Buffer 6µl
10mM dATP 6µl
Klenow exo- (5 units/µl) 2.5µl
  1. Incubate 1 hr at 37°C in thermocycler.
  2. Ethanol precipitate by adding the following. Note the times and spins of this precipitation are excessive, but they are an attempt to increase recovery as the adapters are quite expensive:
Item Amount
Glycogen (20µg/µl) 2µl
NaOAC (3M pH 5.2) 6.2µl
100% EtOH 170.5µl
  1. Mix well and precipitate overnight at -20°C
  2. Spin at max speed for 30 minutes at 4°C.
  3. Decant carefully and/or pipette without disturbing pellet.
  4. Add 1mL 70% EtOH and resuspend via flicking tube.
  5. Spin at max speed for 30 minutes at 4°C.
  6. Decant carefully and/or pipette without disturbing pellet.
  7. Air dry 10 minutes inverted sitting on fresh kimwipe.
  8. Air dry 5 minutes upright near burning flame.
  9. Resuspend in 40µl of WFI water.
  10. Alliquot 1µl into labeled tubes, or reasonable amount into well-sealed 96 well plates.
  11. Store -20°C

  1. Mix the following in PCR tube for a 50µM adapter concentrated stock:
    1. 10µl 100µM IBCF#
    2. 10µl 100µM IBCR#
    • Using mismatched identifier numbers will likely cause complete failure of ligation, or terrible data.
  2. Use thermocycler with following conditions:
    1. 97C 2minutes
    2. 97C 1minute
      1. Repeat previous step for 72 total cycles at -1C per cycle
    3. 25C 5 minutes
      After this step, adapters should NEVER be warmed above 25C.
  3. Transport tube(s) back to lab on ice.
  4. Alliquot 2µl to 10 PRECHILLED 600µl low retention eppendorf tubes. Make sure tubes are labeled.
  5. Store barcodes 'anealed adpaters' box.

Harvest DNA and determine Concentration

  1. Harvest DNA from sample using Invitrogen PureLink Genomic DNA kit using standard protocol.
  2. It is important to elute in elution buffer rather than water.
  3. Use Qbit to determine concentration.

Fragment DNA

  • 2 different shearing protocols have been developed, choose appropriate based on cost and time. Very likely covaris method falling out of favor due to 5$ per tube reagent cost for single shearing event.
  • The goal of this step is to transfer 500ng to 1µg of sheared DNA in 25µl to a low retention eppendorf tube.

Covaris shearing

  • Successfully done with 500ng of sheared DNA in 25µl.
    ALERT! During ligation 0.4µl of adapter should be used, NOT 1µl using 500ng in the library prep
  1. Place between 1µg and 4 µg of DNA in a covaris microtube (total µg can be increased to 10, but should never be necessary, or decreased below 1µg if necessary).
  2. Bring total volume up to 50 or 130µl using Invitrogen Elution Buffer.
    • Covaris only recommends 130 and 50 µl with the microtubes as other volumes can create air bubbles and lead to poor shearing.
  3. Signup for an appropriate amount of time in the GSAF core, and take all samples to core.
  4. Use appropriate shearing conditions for the Covaris instrument either from Barrick lab folder, or GSAF folder (if GSAF protocol used, save copy to Barrick folder).
    1. For standard sequencing projects, ~300bp is a good target size (if other size used adapter concentrations need to be adjusted).
    2. Consult Covaris manual for other size distributions.
  5. Spin tubes down in black plates on plate centrifuge (plates have shallow wells that cause the bottom of the Covaris tube to reach the bottom of the plate so there is no force on the lid)
  6. Transfer 1µg of sheared DNA to low retention eppendorf tube.
  7. Adjust volume to 25 µl using speedvac if necessary.
  8. Volume must be 25 µl, different amounts of DNA can be used with subsequent adjustments to adapter amounts. If attempted, update appropriate sections with working concentrations.
  9. Store remaining sheared DNA at -20C at a minimum until sequencing data is back, it can be used to save a Covaris tube if sample fails, or for other experiments.

NEB Fragmentase

  • Protocol employed by Mike due to large quantity of samples. If no details listed here, see rare variant protocol or see him for details if neither contains details.

End Repair DNA

  1. Move blue heat block to -4C, and set to 20C before starting so heat block will adjust temperature accordingly.

1 98 45 sec
2 98 15 sec
3 60 30 sec
4 72 30 sec
5 go to Step 2
6 72 1 min

  • Minimum number of cycles should be preformed to maximize diversity. This is esspecially important for mixed population sequencings. Typically 5-7 Cycles is sufficient.

  10. Remove beads from magnet.
  11. Resuspend in 25µl WFI water or TE.

QC

  1. Use 1 µl of sample for tape station.
    • If substantial dimer contamination, rewash, possibly adding slightly less PEG/NaCl solution than a 1:1 ratio.
    • If product not visible, toubleshoot PCR step first, possibly by increasing 2-3 cycles as this is the cheapest and most likely failure step.
  2. Use 2 µl for Qbit.
  3. Pool samples with different IBC and identical EBC into a single submission tube for Core. This should be done based either on the Qbit readings, or on the fraction of correctly sized product from the tape station if different amounts of Adapter contamination detected (requires that correctly sized peak be significantly greater than the off product).
  4. Create job at the GSAF website
    • only list the external barcode in communications with the core.
  5. When job approved, take sample to GSAF core.
  6. For more information about data retrieval and analysis visit internal site InternalNgsData (login required).
