Summary: Extraction of high quality DNA for long read sequencing e.g. PacBio and MinIonOptimized for DNA extraction from Bipolaris sorokiniana. Also tested on Parastaognospora nodorum, Zymoseptoria tritici, wheat stripe rust, barley stripe rust and Pyrenophora tritici-repentisBuffers are best when fresh and not older than 3-6 months. Buffered Phenol:Chloroform:Isoamylalcohol (25:24:1) should not be older than 3 months.Critical steps to obtain high quality DNA:Do NOT heat samples during DNA extractions! Perform all steps at RT or 4oC as indicated.Do NOT incubate samples with KAc for prolonged time periodsPerform two steps of buffered Phenol:Chloroform:Isoamylalcohol purification to reduce co-purifying metabolites.DNA fragments were well above the 40kb mark based on Pippin Pulse Gels. The sequencing center performed a second AMPure purification step before library construction.

Summary: Short DNA probes, for example, those used in characterizing protein-DNA complexes, have historically been radiolabeled with 32P to allow their detection and quantitation following native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). For reasons of economy or safety, alternative means of DNA detection need to be used. Described here is the resolution of 5' IRD700 and IRD800 end-labeled DNAs by native PAGE and their visualization and quantitation by IR fluorescence imaging.

Summary: Immunofluorescence microscopy is used to determine molecular localization and to measure fluorescence intensity of activity in cultured cells. Reagents for fixation and/or permeabilization must be suitable for the molecule of interest. We developed a procedure to immunostain phosphatidylinositol biphosphate (PIP2) and phosphorylated Extracellular signal-Regulated Kinase (ERK) simultaneously. PIP2 is a phospholipid component of cell membranes. ERK is a mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) that localized in the cytoplasm and nucleus after phosphorylation triggered by ligand activation. Different compounds are used to permeabilize cells in order to stain for these two molecules. Digitonin is used for PIP2 and Triton X-100 is used for phosphorylated ERK. However, since Triton X-100 can solubilize cell membrane lipids, it is not suitable for PIP2 labeling. In order to confer resistance against Triton X-100, we devised a method to fix anti-PIP2 antibody on the cell membrane antigen before permeabilization with Triton X-100. We modified a conventional immunostaining method to include secondary fixation and permeabilization after anti-PIP2 antibody labeling. The secondary fixation probably immobilizes antibodies bound to PIP2 on the cell membrane, perhaps by cross-linking them to surrounding protein molecules. Whatever the mechanism, this fixation enables PIP2-antibody complexes to remain on the membrane, despite treatment with Triton X-100, which is used to visualize phosphorylated ERK. Since PIP2 and ERK are major cell signaling molecules in various cellular phenomena, simultaneous detection and visualization of their phosphorylation states by this method should be useful for many studies.

Summary: This protocol describes ddPCR titration of Lentivirus vectors. To see the full abstract and additional resources, visit https://www.addgene.org/protocols/lentivirus-ddpcr-titration/.This protocol was modified from the publication Wang Y, Bergelson S, Feschenko M, 2018. Sample Data: When analyzing data there should be a clear distinction between negative droplets (black) and positive droplets (blue/green).The concentration of RRE positive droplets in the untransduced control should be close to zero (A01).In this protocol, the lentiviral particles are serially diluted and used to transduce HEK293T cells. Genomic DNA is extracted from the target cells and assayed for integrated copies of RRE. Since the samples that are assayed are diluted 2-fold serially, the concentration of RRE positive droplets should decrease by a factor of 2 across the dilutions. RPP30 copies should be relatively constant across samples.In the RRE example below, 2-fold serial dilutions of a sample were loaded in wells B01-H01.As shown in the image and table below, the concentration of RRE positive droplets increases by a factor of ~2 as you progress from the higher dilutions to the lower dilutions (blue).The concentration of RPP30 positive droplets stays relatively even across samples (green).To increase the accuracy of the titer, calculate and average of several dilutions.

Summary: The global pandemic due to SARS-CoV2 virus, also known as COVID-19, has drastically increased the need for nasopharyngeal-swab-based testing resulting in shortages of commercially available nasopharyngeal (NP) swabs. One solution to overcome the national deficit of swabs is for medical device manufacturers and hospitals to generate NP swabs. Numerous entities are attempting to manufacture a direct from 3D printing NP swab but presented here is a validated two-part swab manufacturing protocol utilizing 3D printing and manual intervention (wrapping of nylon fibers). We recommend material extrusion or powder bed fusion technologies utilizing materials that can be sterilized using high level heat decontamination. Through the application of 3D printing and manual fabrication, we present an NP swab that can be created in a controlled environment. Coupled with CDC published viral transport media, the following swab can be used for COVID-19 testing or for testing for other respiratory viruses (eg, influenza, respiratory syncytial virus). The CDC viral transport medium has only four reagents which are readily available.

Summary: Radiolaria are protists which can't be cultivated. These microoganisms have to be isolated by single-cell for genetic identification and it can be difficult to get clean DNA.Here we optimized a DNA extraction protocol from protist single-cell.It works very well on single-cell Radiolaria, Foraminifers, but also Ciliates, Dinoflagelletes, Diatoms.
