K-mer-based host screening Resource Report Resource Website |
Bonnie Hurwitz, Ken Youens-Clark | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.ehjbb4n | VERVE Net, Hurwitz Lab | K-mer-based approaches to determining sequence similiarity can be faster than traditional use of BLAST. This application uses Jellyfish to index host FASTA files, then uses the mode value (default 2) of the number of matching k-mers (default k=20) from the input sequence to determine whether the sequence is similar enough to the host sequence to be rejected. The output of the app is:"screened" directory containing the sequences from each file that were found to be dissimlar to the host"rejected" directory containing the sequence from each file that were too similar to the host"jf" directory containing Jellyfish indexes of each "host" file (useful for later runs with other files to skip recreating)"kmer" directory containing k-mers of query sequences and ".loc" file showing the number of ".kmer" lines associated to each sequence Code is freely available at Github. | University of Arizona, University of Arizona | 1 | 2016 | Bonnie Hurwitz, Ken Youens-Clark 2016.

Isolation of cyanophages by plaque assays Resource Report Resource Website |
Mathias Middelboe, Amy M. Chan, and Sif K. Bertelsen | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.dqg5tv | VERVE Net, Suttle Laboratory of Marine Molecular Microbiology and Virology | More than 40 years ago, Safferman and Morris (1963) used the plaque assay method to isolate the first cyanophage that infects a freshwater filamentous cyanobacterium, Plectonema boryanum. Since then, this approach has been used successfully to detect and isolate a number of different phages infecting marine Synechoccocus and Prochlorococcus (e.g., Suttle and Chan 1993; Waterbury and Valois 1993; Wilson et al. 1993; Sullivan et al. 2003).The advantages of this method are that results are easily interpreted as plaques formed on pigmented lawns can be easily identified. Since a plaque is the result of a single infection event, the virus can be easily purified and cloned. The first part of the procedures described as follows: (1) preparation of base plates and (2) preparation of top agar/agarose are applicable also for bacteriophage plaque assays. | Manual of Aquatic Viral Ecology, Manual of Aquatic Viral Ecology, Manual of Aquatic Viral Ecology | http://www.aslo.org/books/mave/MAVE_118.pdf | 1 | 2016 | Mathias Middelboe, Amy M.

Fingerprinting aquatic virus communities using pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) Resource Report Resource Website |
Ruth-Anne Sandaa, Steven M. Short, and Declan C. Schroeder | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.dy27yd | VERVE Net | The viral concentrate used for PFGE analysis must be molded into plugs, followed by lysis of the virus particles to release their DNA. It is possible to run solution-based preparation of viral DNA for PFGE (Steward 2001); however, large DNA molecules (>100 kb) are extremely sensitive to mechanical shearing in aqueous solution (Bouchez and Camilleri 1997). The consensus is that lysis inside viral plugs prevents mechanical shearing of the DNA, resulting in more discrete PFGE bands. Intact viral genomes are then separated by size by PFGE. After separation, the banding pattern is visualized by staining with a fluorescent DNA stain. This banding pattern provides a visual record of the genome size distribution that can be used for qualitative and quantitative comparisons between samples. | Manual of Aquatic Viral Ecology, Manual of Aquatic Viral Ecology, Manual of Aquatic Viral Ecology | http://www.aslo.org/books/mave/MAVE_009.pdf | 1 | 2016 | Ruth-Anne Sandaa, Steven M.

Modeling ecological drivers in marine viral communities using comparative metagenomics and network analyses Resource Report Resource Website |
Bonnie Hurwitz, Ken Youens-Clark | DOI:10.17504/protocols.io.efgbbjw | VERVE Net, Hurwitz Lab | Long-standing questions in marine viral ecology are centered on understanding how viral assemblages change along gradients in space and time. However, investigating these fundamental ecological questions has been challenging due to incomplete representation of naturally occurring viral diversity in single gene- or morphology-based studies and an inability to identify up to 90% of reads in viral metagenomes (viromes). In this protocol, I describe how to use an annotation- and assembly-free strategy for comparative metagenomics that combines shared k-mer and social network analyses (regression modeling). This robust statistical framework enables visualization of complex sample networks and determination of ecological factors driving community structure. This tutorial describes a protocol to reproduce work from the Pacific Ocean virome comprised of 32 viromes from diverse sites in the Pacific Ocean.
