Summary: B. saltans cells were electroporated using a square-wave electroporator (Nepa21, Bulldog Bio, Inc.) using one poring pulse of 200 volts with a pulse duration of 25 ms and five transfer pulses of 60 volts with a pulse duration of 99 ms, with plasmid targeting the 18S region (18S-GFP). A schematic representation of the plasmid, the target locus and the expected site of integration into the B. saltans genome is shown in Figure 1. Electroporated cells were selected with 1 µg/ml of G418, added 24 hours after electroporation. Cells were washed and subcultured into fresh selection medium every 3-4 days. G418 resistant cells started to emerge 7-9 days post-electroporation. Cells were processed for genotyping analysis to confirm plasmid integration 3 weeks post-electroporation. DNA was extracted from pools of transfected and wild cells using the Qiagen DNeasy Blood & Tissue kit. PCR analyses were used to characterize the 18S-GFP tagging using 6 sets of PCR primers, as shown in Figure 1 C.

Summary: Background: The spotted sea bass (Lateolabrax maculatus) is a valuable commercial fish that is widely cultured in China. While analyses using molecular markers and population genetics have been conducted, genomic resources are lacking.Finding: Here, we report a chromosome-scale assembly of the spotted sea bass genome by high-depth genome sequencing, assembly and annotation. The genome scale was 0.62 Gb with contig and scaffold N50 length to be 31 Kb and 1,040 Kb, respectively. Hi-C scaffolding of the genome resulted in 24 pseudochromosomes containing 77.68% of the total assembled sequences. A total of 132.38Mb repeat sequences were detected, accounting for 20.73% of the assemble genome. 22,015 protein-coding genes were predicted, of which 96.52% were homologous to proteins in various databases. In addition, we constructed a phylogenetic tree using 1,586 single-copy gene families and identified 125 unique gene families in the spotted sea bass genome.Conclusions: We assembled a spotted sea bass genome, which will be a valuable genomic resource to understand the biology of the spotted sea bass, and will also lead to the development of molecular breeding techniques to generate spotted sea bass with better economical traits.

Summary: Dental calculus from archaeoloigcal samples is now commonly extracted for palaeoproteomic analysis. This protocol combines an EDTA based pretreatment and a SP3 (single-pot, solid-phase-enhanced) protein extraction to prepare samples for LC-MS/MS analysis. This protocol is for moderate to well preserved archaeological calculus samples with a starting weight of 5-15 mg of calculus. We recommend batch sizes of 2-10 calculus samples, 1 extraction control (we use a powdered bone sample from an achaeological sheep bone as this should not be modern material), and 1 extraction blank. For the first time doing the protocol in a lab, we recommend using flanking blanks to identify any contaminants as from handling or from solutions.This protocol is based upon the original SP3 protocol published in Hughes et al. (2014) and the developments for palaeoproteomics of bone (Cleland et al., 2018). When using please cite the following three publications the protocol is based upon as well as the DOI for this protocol.Hughes, C. S., Foehr, S., Garfield, D. A., Furlong, E. E., Steinmetz, L.

Summary: Background: Aberrant DNA methylation occurs frequently in cancer. The aim of this study was to identify novel methylation markers in lung cancer in Xuanwei, China, through integrated genome-wide DNA methylation and gene expression studies.Methods: Differentially methylated regions (DMRs) and differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were detected on 10 paired lung cancer tissues and noncancerous lung tissues by methylated DNA immunoprecipitation combined with microarray (MeDIP-chip) and gene expression microarray analyses, respectively. Integrated analysis of DMRs and DEGs was performed to screen out candidate methylation-related genes. Both methylation and expression changes of the candidate genes were further validated and analyzed.Results: Compared with normal lung tissues, lung cancer tissues expressed a total of 6,899 DMRs, including 5,788 hypermethylated regions and 1,111 hypomethylated regions. Integrated analysis of DMRs and DEGs identified 45 tumor-specific candidate genes: 38 genes whose DMRs were hypermethylated and expression was downregulated, and 7 genes whose DMRs were hypomethylated and expression was upregulated. The methylation and expression validation results identified 4 candidate genes (STXBP6, BCL6B, FZD10, and HSPB6) that were significantly hypermethylated and downregulated in most of the tumor tissues compared with the noncancerous lung tissues.Conclusions: This integrated analysis of genome-wide DNA methylation and gene expression in lung cancer in Xuanwei revealed several genes regulated by promoter methylation that have not been described in lung cancer before. These results provide new insight into the carcinogenesis of lung cancer in Xuanwei and represent promising new diagnostic and therapeutic targets.

Summary: SPATT has been developed and tested for a variety of resins (see review by Kudela, 2017). These Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) outline the use of the resin DIAON HP20 since it has been demonstrated to quantify microcystins, anatoxin-a, saxitoxin, domoic acid, and okadaic acid in fresh, brackish, and marine waters, all from the same SPATT sampling device (Lane et al. 2010; Miller et al. 2010, Kudela 2011, Gibble and Kudela, 2014, Howard et al., 2017, Kudela, 2017, Peacock et al., 2018). Cylindrospermopsin and nodularin have also been detected using SPATT with DIAON HP20 resin in California, however, the use of DIAON HP20 for these toxins has not been well characterized in the laboratory. This methodology is ready for wider adoption by the research, monitoring, and management communities interested in detecting and tracking the dynamics of freshwater and marine toxins. The SOP described herein for the assemblage and construction of SPATT bags can be used for deployment in freshwater, brackish and marine environments and the extraction process described below is for the analysis of both marine toxins and cyanotoxins.

Summary: This SOP describes the procedure for generating cDNA from SARS-CoV-2 viral nucleic acid extracts and subsequently producing 275nt amplicons. This is followed by library construction, equivolume pooling of samples and quantitation, prior to sequencing on the Illumina NovaSeq. A key benefit of the short amplicon method is that it can be utilised on any Illumina platform with a 300 cycle (or greater) kit.It is an adaptation of the 400nt COVID-19 ARTIC v3 amplicon protocol which can be found here:https://www.protocols.io/view/covid-19-artic-v3-illumina-library-construction-an-bgxjjxknBoth the above protocols were adapted from the nCov-2019 sequencing protocol: https://www.protocols.io/view/ncov-2019-sequencing-protocol-bbmuik6w

Summary: This protocol was used for the dissociation of fresh pediatric neuroblastoma samples from patient tumors or orthotopic patient derived xenografts. Using this method, we were able to prepare highly viable (>90%) single-cell suspensions compatible with droplet-based single-cell RNA-Seq technology (Slyper et al).For the Human Tumor Atlas Pilot Project (HTAPP), this protocol has been successfully applied to neuroblastoma resections collected from abdominal and paraspinal sites.Description of this protocol and guidance for testing and selecting methods for processing other tumor and sample types can be found in Slyper et al.

Summary: A protocol kindly provided to our team by the advisor to the 2018 MIT iGEM team (Dr. Brian Teague). It is modified slightly from that version (made by Stefan Maas in 1997) to fit our needs. Stefan Maas' protocol is similar to the Hanahan, D. protocol from 1983.It worked pretty well to make good competent cells in Summer 2018 and we just used it again in Summer 2019.
