Liberibacter americanus and Ca. PubMedGoogle Scholar. A number of methods using both short- and long-read technologies are currently being applied for SARS-CoV-2 sequencing, including amplicon approaches, metagenomic methods, and sequence capture or enrichment methods. Vanaerschot M, Mann SA, Webber JT, Kamm J, Bell SM, Bell J, et al. In initial tests, samples with N1 and N2 Ct values greater than 35 yielded poor coverage (~50% genome coverage at 10x) using the tailed amplicon method, did not yield useful data for the Nextera DNA Flex Enrichment protocol, and did not generate enough amplicon template to proceed with library preparation for the ARTIC v3 method (data not shown). Variants located outside of the region targeted by the amplicon panel were filtered out (reference genome positions 154 and 29,83629,903), and consensus sequences bases corresponding to those regions were trimmed. In addition, two SARS-CoV-2 negative samples were selected to assess cross-contamination or other sequencing artifacts. The cycling conditions were as follows: 98C for 2min; followed by 1624 cycles of 98C for 30s, 60C for 30s, and 72C for 1min; and a final extension at 72C for 5min., using 16 cycles for Cq 20 samples, 18 cycles for Cq 22 samples, and 24 cycles for Cq 26 and Cq 28 samples.

Several large-scale consortia in the UK (COG-UK: COVID-19 Genomics UK), Canada (CanCOGeN: Canadian COVID Genomics Network), and the United States (CDC SPHERES: SARS-CoV-2 Sequencing for Public Health Emergency Response, Epidemiology, and Surveillance) have begun coordinated efforts to sequence large numbers of SARS-CoV-2 genomes. A total of 1g input DNA per sample was used for SureSelect library preparation (Agilent, Santa Clara, CA). This is exemplified by the CLas genome of the lowest titer sample (equivalent to 28.52 Cq using Li 16S qPCR) being easily obtained with just 3.2 million total reads. Here we compare sequence capture and amplicon-based methods for sequencing SARS-CoV-2 and describe a streamlined tailed amplicon method for cost-effective and highly scalable SARS-CoV-2 sequencing.

Reverse indexing primer: CAAGCAGAAGACGGCATACGAGATXXXXXXXXXXGTCTCGTGGGCTCGG. Alignment files were filtered to remove PCR duplicates, retaining only reads in proper pairs with robust mapping quality (MAPQ10) using Samtools v. 1.728. Since primers cannot capture the very ends of the viral genome, amplicon approaches have the drawback of slightly less complete genome coverage, and mutations in primer binding sites have the potential to disrupt the amplification of the associated amplicon [12]. For me the Experion system was more forgiving when it came to chip loading. Whole genome sequencing approaches will provide more precise molecular characterization of the diversity among populations.

G) 2% agarose gel showing the presence of primer dimers particularly in high N1/N2 Ct samples when indexed using different PCR cycling conditions. Tailed amplicon v2 pool primer sequences. The tailed amplicon approach we describe bypasses costly and labor-intensive library preparation steps and will allow for production of SARS-CoV-2 libraries at high scale (similar workflows are run on tens of thousands of samples per year in the University of Minnesota Genomics Center) at low cost (between $2040 per sample depending on scale, including labor costs). Any one have suggestions for alternative systems for analyzing fragment sizes (other than gels)? Amplicon read depths were determined by counting the number of aligned reads covering the base at the center of each amplicon region. Effective disease managing efforts require a greater understanding of the causal agents, which can be achieved through whole genome sequencing. General. This tailed amplicon method uses a two-step PCR process similar to workflows previously described by us and others to generate microbiome or other amplicon sequencing data [14]. The Agilent TapeStation system is an automated electrophoresis solution for the sample quality control of DNA and RNA samples. Thus, for testing the tailed amplicon v2 approach, and comparing among all four methods, we used a subset of these patient samples with N1 and N2 Ct values ranging from ~2035 (Fig. Select Tape Type D5000 ScreenTape assays is comparable to Bioanalyzer High Sensitivity DNA Chip Full tape and per sample options are available for the High Sensitivity D5000 and Genomic DNA tapes.

Genome Biol. Systematic improvement of amplicon marker gene methods for increased accuracy in microbiome studies. Reads that did not align to the host genome were aligned to the reference Wuhan-Hu-1 [5] SARS-CoV-2 genome (MN908947.3) using BWA [21]. The Agilent 4200 TapeStation system (G2991AA) is an automated platform for scalable, flexible, faster and more reliable electrophoresis. We benchmark this approach against both the standard ARTIC v3 protocol and a sequence capture approach using clinical samples spanning a range of viral loads. Trees were generated using RaxML v8.2.10 and visualized using FigTree v1.4.3. The RNA probe price can drop further to around $100 dollar per sample if it is bulk order (96 reactions each order instead of 16). We anticipate that this approach will aid in the genomic surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 as well as studies on viral diversity and evolution, and the influence of virus genetics on transmissibility, virulence, and clinical outcomes.
