%TOC% ---++ Major version notes This is a protocol based on Kappa LTP Preparation Kit manual KR0453 - v3.13<br /> 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. <br /> This was validated on 2 extremely similar 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. <br /> This has subsequently been used in more than a dozen (4-15-15) other preps without incident. <br /> The default fragmentation protocol is now NEB fragmentase rather than Covaris. <br /> This protocol is for standard applications. Please [[RareKappaNgsPrep][click here]] for rare variant within a population protocol. ---++ Before Beginning and Important Notes 1 Low retention (maximum recovery) tubes and filter tips should be used at __every__ step. Regular tips commonly used for !EtOH removal during wash steps. 1 Before starting make sure ligated adapters are available in cardboard box labeled 'Anealed adapters'. %BR% %X% Importance of this box/these tubes never being warmed above RT cannot be underscored enough 1 WFI water should be used for all steps where water is needed. Aliquots of water should be taken from bottle to avoid contamination. 1 A 2 barcode system comprising internal and external barcodes is currently being employed (it allows to mix different samples in a single tube for multiplexing the sequencing, thus economical; it is different than dual barcoding strategies which use 2 different external barcodes). There are 8 annealed adapters, each corresponding to 1 of 8 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 this should give ~70-80x coverage of _E. coli_ genomes which is the current standard.%BR% %X% __NEVER__ pool identical IBC as this type of pooling can not be reassigned at the data analysis step. 1 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. 1 "Freshly prepared 80% !EtOH" for cleanup reactions should be prepared daily, and be made combining 100% !EtOH with WFI water. 1 Always have the next master mix prepared to add to the tubes after wash. Never leave the beads in tubes without liquid on them for very long (< 3 min) as they will dry and ruin your prep. 1 Several different alternative options are available, steps which have alternative strategies are marked as such. ---++ Adapter Anealation %T% Note, this step is not necessary each time. Check the C lab -20, NGS 2 rack, "EBC + IBC Design Anealed Adapter" paper box for annealed adpaters (small tubes not IDT tubes). If annealed primers are old, best to trash and remake. Do not trash IDT tubes. 1 Mix the following in PCR tube for a 50µM adapter concentrated stock: 1 10µl 100µM IBCF# 1 10µl 100µM IBCR# * %X%Using mismatched identifier numbers will cause complete failure of ligation, or terrible data. 1 Use thermocycler with following conditions: 1 97C 2minutes 1 97C 1minute 1 Repeat previous step for 72 total cycles at -1C per cycle 1 25C 5 minutes %BR% After this step, adapters should __NEVER__ be warmed above 25C. 1 Alliquot 2µl to 10 __PRECHILLED__ 600µl low retention eppendorf tubes. Make sure tubes are labeled. 1 Store barcodes 'anealed adpaters' box. ---++ Harvest DNA and determine Concentration 1 Harvest DNA from sample using Invitrogen !PureLink Genomic DNA kit using standard protocol. 1 It is important to elute in elution buffer rather than water. 1 Use Qbit to determine concentration. ---++ Fragment DNA * The goal of this step is to transfer 500ng of sheared DNA in 25µl to a low retention eppendorf tube. ---+++ NEB Fragmentase® * Protocol employed by Mike due to large quantity of samples. Has since been used by iGEM, Dacia and Gabo (contributor to the protocol below). * %X%Subsequent steps will assume your samples were fragmented with Fragmentase. If this is not the case, other changes are needed 1 Pull Ampure beads to allow to warm to room temperature. 1 Set Fragmentase on ice and set Fragmentase 10X buffer at room temp to allow to thaw. For reproducible results, pre-vortex (~2 seconds) all reactants prior to use. 1 Set heat block (with water on the wells) to 37°C and corroborate temperature with a thermometer. *Beware some heat-blocks may have a timer and will stop prematurely if not set properly. 1 Combine the following in a PCR tube:%BR%<p> </p> | Item | Amount | | DNA | 1 µg | | Fragmentase 10x buffer | 2 µl | | Fragmentase enzyme mix (last ingredient to add) | 2 µl | | diH2O | complete to 20µL | %X%*Important:* Fragmentase is viscous, so pay attention you are not adding extra and remove excess by lightly tapping the pippette tip against the inside of Fragmentase tube. When pippetting into the reaction mix, pipette up and down several times making sure complete transfer has been achieved. 1 Vortex the rxn mix for ~2 sec 1 Incubate at 37°C for ~27 minutes. %BR%Note: A typical 20uL reaction with 1ug gDNA will take 26-28 minutes for ~300bp fragments (using DNA eluted in Tris pH 8.5 with ~400ng/uL concentration). A test reaction should be performed with a sample that has been extracted with exactly the same conditions (i.e., same method, reactants and elution buffer) as the samples that will undergo sequencing prep. This is critical, since small variations in buffers or DNA extraction methods will dramatically affect digestion times required for the desired fragment size. Run 500ng-1ug from these test reactions on a gel to determine results. Preferably, fragments will be anywhere from 300-500bp; fragmentation to smaller than 300bp should be avoided. 1 *STOP* rxn: Fragmentase reactions must be stopped (5µL of EDTA 0.5 M pH 8.0) to prevent further digestion of your product. Best way (fast and precise) to do this is to have another set of PCR tubes ready with 5µL EDTA pre-chilled on ice and a promptly transferring the completed reactions into them (you can use a P100 pipette set to 30µL) making sure to pipette up and down to mix well. Other notes: <br /> The Fragmentase reaction is not linear, but its efficiency can be *roughly* estimated by plugging time (t) or base pairs (size) in the following formulas: <br /> 52000*(t^-1.55) = estimated average fragment size <br /> 10^(LOG(size/52000)/-1.55) = time in minutes <br /> <br /> You can estimate digestion time by entering desired fragment size in the box below: <form onsubmit="return false" oninput="o.value = Math.pow(10,Math.log10(parseInt(s.value)/52000)/-1.55)"> <input name="s" type="number" step=50> = <output name="o"> estimated minutes </output> </form> *Half-Fragmentase* <br /> Using half-amount Fragmentase (1uL in 20uL rxn) can be performed at a little over double the time (2.4X). For example, for half-fragmentase reactions with 1ug gDNA in 20uL, we've seen that it took 32 minutes to fragment to ~900bp fragments and 62-72 minutes to achieve ~300 bp size. <br /> Don't worry if you get a large smear, as long as enough material is observed <500bp, next steps will narrow fragment size range with size selection. ---+++ Post FRAGMENTASE clean up. 1 Add 60µl of room temperature Ampure beads to the stopped 25µL Fragmentase rxn 1 Mix by pipetting up and down till homogeneous mixture. 1 Incubate at room temperature for 10 minutes for DNA to precipitate onto beads. 1 Place tubes on magnet until liquid is clear (usually ~5 minutes). 1 Carefully remove and discard supernatant without disturbing the beads. 1 Add 200 µl of 80% !EtOH. 1 Allow to incubate more than 30 seconds at room temperature.

Set block to 20C. Check back periodically (at least 15 minutes rxn time needed) for block to stay at or below 20C once back in base. Ice buckets can be used instead of cold room bench for better heat dispersal. ---++ Wash 1 To each 25µl reaction, add 45µl PEG/NaCl Solution. 1 Mix by pipetting up and down till homogeneous mixture. 1 Incubate at room temperature for 10 minutes for DNA to precipitate onto beads. 1 Place tubes on magnet until liquid is clear (usually ~5 minutes). 1 Carefully remove and discard supernatant without disturbing the beads. 1 Add 200 µl of 80% !EtOH. 1 Allow to incubate more than 30 seconds at room temperature.

This will be used if the PCR is unsuccessful, or if further optimization is required. Beads can be left in this DNA. * Minimum number of cycles should be preformed to maximize diversity (complexity). This is especially important for mixed population sequencings. Typically 5-7 Cycles is sufficient (for 1µg of amplified library generated). ---++ Wash 1 To each 25µl reaction, add 25µl of room temperature Ampure beads. 1 Mix by pipetting up and down till homogeneous mixture. 1 Incubate at room temperature for 10 minutes for DNA to precipitate onto beads. 1 Place tubes on magnet until liquid is clear (usually ~5 minutes). 1 Carefully remove and discard supernatant without disturbing the beads. 1 Add 200 µl of 80% !EtOH. 1 Allow to incubate more than 30 seconds at room temperature. It is not necessary to resuspend the beads. 1 Repeat for a 2nd wash. 1 Allow beads to dry at room temperature for all ethanol to evaporate. 1 ethanol carryover will interfere with subsequent steps, and over-drying of beads (typically characterized by cracks appearing in the beads) 1 Remove beads from magnet. 1 Resuspend in 25µl WFI water or TE. ---++ QC 1 Use 1 µl of supernatant sample for tape station. * Do not put beads into tape station as they can cause things to run funny. * 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. 1 Use 2 µl for Qbit. 1 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). * Aim for ~25µL total volume in a single tube containing equimolar amounts of each of the samples pooled together. 1 See Dan for current information about submitting for sequencing ---++ Alternative non-standard methods ---+++ DNA Fragmentation The current standard method of DNA fragmentation is Fragmentase. Prior to July of 2016 Covaris shearing was the standard method. The shift was precipitated by the cost discrepancy and increasing number of samples being analyzed. Each Covaris tube is $5 and can not be reliably reused for both cross contamination and structural integrity issues. ---++++ Covaris shearing * Successfully done with 500ng of sheared DNA in 25µl. %BR% %X% 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). 1 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. 1 Signup for an appropriate amount of time in the GSAF core, and take all samples to core. 1 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). 1 Consult Covaris manual for other size distributions. 1 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) 1 Transfer 1µg of sheared DNA to low retention eppendorf tube. 1 Adjust volume to 25 µl using speedvac if necessary. 1 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. 1 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. ---+++ ERROR rates incorporate remaining information from full page into optional information here.
