MetaPhlAn profiling of 20 HMP samples Resource Report Resource Website |
Curtis Huttenhower | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.d9e93d | VERVE Net, Huttenhower Lab | In this protocol we will show how to taxonomically profile 20 metagenomic shotgun samples Human Microbiome Project (HMP). Specifically, we will look at 10 samples from the buccal mucosa and 10 from the tongue dorsum. Please note these 20 samples are not necessarily an unbiased selection of microbiomes from the over 200 buccal mucosa and tongue dorsum samples generated by the HMP.REQUIREMENTS: BowTie2 installed and in the system path, Mercurial, basic unix commands (wget, tar).The size of the 20 samples (60GBs) can make their download quite slow. For this reason we are also providing the overall output of this protocol (few KBs) available for download so that one can start the tutorial from MetaPhlAn output merge and visualization if needed. | https://bitbucket.org/nsegata/metaphlan/wiki/MetaPhlAn_Pipelines_Tutorial | 1 | 2016 | Curtis Huttenhower 2016.

Purification of viral assemblages from seawater in CsCl gradients Resource Report Resource Website |
Janice E. Lawrence and Grieg F. Steward | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.d2s8ed | VERVE Net | OptiPrep gradients, as described for purifying viral isolates, may also be used for purifying marine viral assemblages. There are as yet, however, few descriptions of this application in the literature. CsCl gradients, on the other hand, have been used extensively for purifications of viral isolates and natural viral assemblages. Given the continued popularity of CsCl gradients, and their well-characterized performance, we present the following two-part purification and fractionation protocol for viruses in CsCl gradients. The first part involves relatively quick sedimentation through a step-gradient to remove the bulk of the contaminants. This is followed by a higher resolution continuous gradient to separate the viruses from residual contaminants and to separate viruses having differing buoyant densities from one another. We assume the starting material for the following procedure to be a concentrated suspension of viruses (whether filtered to remove cells or not). | Manual of Aquatic Viral Ecology | http://www.aslo.org/books/mave/MAVE_166.pdf | 1 | 2015 | Janice E.

Generating viral metagenomes from the coral holobiont Resource Report Resource Website |
Karen D. Weynberg, Elisha M. Wood-Charlson, Curtis A. Suttle, and Madeleine J. H. van Oppen | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.ejgbcjw | VERVE Net | Reef-building corals comprise multipartite symbioses where the cnidarian animal is host to an array of eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms, and the viruses that infect them. These viruses are critical elements of the coral holobiont, serving not only as agents of mortality, but also as potential vectors for lateral gene flow, and as elements encoding a variety of auxiliary metabolic functions. Consequently, understanding the functioning and health of the coral holobiont requires detailed knowledge of the associated viral assemblage and its function. Currently, the most tractable way of uncovering viral diversity and function is through metagenomic approaches, which is inherently difficult in corals because of the complex holobiont community, an extracellular mucus layer that all corals secrete, and the variety of sizes and structures of nucleic acids found in viruses. Here we present the first protocol for isolating, purifying and amplifying viral nucleic acids from corals based on mechanical disruption of cells. This method produces at least 50% higher yields of viral nucleic acids, has very low levels of cellular sequence contamination and captures wider viral diversity than previously used chemical-based extraction methods. We demonstrate that our mechanical-based method profiles a greater diversity of DNA and RNA genomes, including virus groups such as Retro-transcribing and ssRNA viruses, which are absent from metagenomes generated via chemical-based methods. In addition, we briefly present (and make publically available) the first paired DNA and RNA viral metagenomes from the coral Acropora tenuis. | , , , | http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fmicb.2014.00206/full | 1 | 2016 | Karen D.

Enumerating algal viruses by flow cytometry Resource Report Resource Website |
Amy Zimmerman, Camille Poirier | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.guibwue | VERVE Net, Worden Lab | Purpose: To quantify virus-like particles in culture or environmental samples.Host cells and virus-like particles are enumerated from the same glutaraldehyde-fixed sample. For virus counts, an aliquot is diluted in 0.02-µm-filtered TE buffer prior to staining with SYBR Green I nucleic acid dye to improve staining efficiency and ensure an appropriately low event rate in the instrument. An unstained aliquot of sample is run for host cell counts. | Worden Lab, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute, Worden Lab, Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute | 2 | 2017 | Amy Zimmerman, Camille Poirier 2017.
