Summary: Managing the current COVID-19 pandemic requires diagnostic testing at an unprecedented scale. However, the crisis has revealed severe deficiencies in our capacity to perform such testing. Here we build on the work of others (1-3) to develop a protocol that not only enables many thousand diagnostic tests to be run in parallel, but also provides near-whole genome sequencing data to facilitate phylogenetic analysis and contact tracing. One of the key features of our protocol is a magnetic bead-based strategy for RNA capture that may circumvent the need for SARS-CoV-2 RNA extraction, currently one of the major bottlenecks in both reagent supply and hands-on sample processing time. This approach also eliminates the requirement for per-sample reverse transcription, significantly reducing per-sample costs. The major steps in our wet lab workflow can be summarised as follows. First, we generate a collection of bead-bound, single-stranded DNA probes tiling the entire SARS-CoV-2 genome. Multiple uniquely barcoded probe sets are prepared, each of which are used to capture viral RNA directly from patient swab samples via DNA/RNA hybridisation. Samples are combined together at this stage, enabling cDNA synthesis to be performed in a single pooled reaction. Finally, multiplex PCR is used to generate a library of overlapping amplicons ready for Illumina sequencing. A schematic overview of the workflow is attached below, along with a more detailed figure depicting the various stages of library preparation.Referenceshttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1kP2w_uTMSep2UxTCOnUhh1TMCjWvHEY0sUUpkJHPYV4/previewhttps://www.protocols.io/view/ncov-2019-sequencing-protocol-bbmuik6w/abstracthttps://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.03.20.001008v1.full.pdf

Summary: This protocol was developed for the glass bead-mediated transformation of Heterosigma akashiwo. This species does not grow on solid medium, so transformants are grown "in bulk" and should not be considered clonal. We have repeated this protocol with success and have been able to maintain transformants on selection medium for several months.

Summary: We present the protocol of international economics experiments conducted to study the relationship between globalisation, social identity and propensity to cooperate. We developed a scale of individual-level globalisation and three scales of local, social and global social identity. Three experimental decisions in social dilemmas measured the propensity to cooperate at the local, national and global level. Participants were about 200 adults from six countries (the US, Italy, Russia, Argentina, South Africa and Iran).Articles from this research have been published as:- Grimalda G, Buchan N, Brewer M (2018).

Summary: BioLegend MojoSort™ nanobeads work in commonly used separation columns, based on our internal research as well as validation by external testing by academic labs. This simple protocol consists of following the MojoSort™ protocol to label the cells with pre-diluted MojoSort™ reagents and using the columns as indicated by the manufacturer.Note: Due to the properties of our beads, it may be possible to use far fewer beads and less antibody than with other commercial suppliers. We recommend a titration to find the best dilution factor. However, as a general rule, dilutions ranging from 1:3 to 1:20 for the Nanobeads can be used. Please contact BioLegend Technical Service ([email protected]) if further assistance is needed.

Summary: Walking perturbations are a well-established tool to study human performance of balance tasks. We aimed to characterize walking and balance reactions in adults with and without neurological disease. Participants walked on self-paced treadmill while being exposed to unexpected surface displacement Perturbations. these were introduced at different phases of the gait cycle, on both legs and in anterior-posterior or medio-lateral directions, in random order. Two types of perturbations were implemented: (1) medio-lateral platform perturbations were achieved by displacing the moving platform 15 cm, to the left or to the right, over 0.92 seconds. The platform held its new position for 30 seconds and then returned gradually to its original position over 3 seconds; (2) anterior-posterior treadmill belt perturbations were achieved by reducing the speed of one of the treadmill belts by 1.2 m/s with a deceleration of 5 m/s2.Relevant gait phase, gait parameters of step length and width as well as walking speed were detected and calculated from force plate and markers data in the sagittal plane. Force plate data was filtered using a low-pass filter with cutoff frequency of 5Hz and a force threshold of 25N is used; no filters were applied to the marker data.The protocol has two steps: (1) self-pace learning and (2) walking with unexpected surface displacement perturbations.
