1. Collection and Separation of Root Endosphere, Rhizosphere, and Soil Samples
<ol>
	<li>Prior to entering the field, autoclave ultrapure water (at least 90 mL of water per sample) to sterilize. Prepare epiphyte removal buffer (at least 25 mL per sample) by adding 6.75 g of KH2PO4, 8.75 g of K2HPO4, and 1 mL of Triton X-100, to 1 L of sterile water. Sterilize the buffer using a vacuum filter with 0.2 &#181;m pore size.
	<ol>
		<li>For steps 1.2 to 1.5, wear clean gloves sterilized with ethanol at all times and replace the gloves between each sample to prevent contamination. Sterilize all equipment with 70% ethanol and wipe clean all equipment between samples. Before sampling, determine the optimal sampling depth for your experiment, and be consistent with all soil and root collections.</li>
	</ol>
	</li>
	<li>To collect bulk soil samples, use an ethanol-sterilized soil core collector to obtain soil that is free of plant roots by collecting a core approximately 23 to 30 cm from the base of the plant.</li>
	<li>Transfer the soil to a plastic bag, homogenize the soil by gentle shaking, and transfer an aliquot of the soil sample (approximately 600 mg) to fill one 2 mL tube. Immediately place the 2 mL tube on dry ice or flash freeze the tube in liquid N2 until ready to proceed with DNA extraction (step 2).
	<ol>
		<li>In some environments, the surrounding soil can contain plant material. In this case, use a sterilized 2 mm sieve to separate the plant debris from the soil prior to placing it in the plastic bag.</li>
	</ol>
	</li>
	<li>To collect the root and rhizosphere, use an ethanol-sterilized shovel to dig up the plant, taking care to obtain as much of the root as possible. Depth is dependent upon the plant. While small plants such as wheat can be removed by digging several centimeters, larger plants such as sorghum may require 30 cm or more. Gently shake off excess soil from the roots until there is approximately 2 mm of soil adhering to the root surface. 
	NOTE: Take care when working with small plants, with fragile roots, or in dry, high-clay content soils. Ideally, there should only be a thin layer of soil remaining on the roots after shaking. If large aggregates of soil remain, a rubber mallet can be used to dislodge the soil by gently hitting the base of the shoot. If the amount of soil remaining after this process exceeds or falls short of 2 mm, the approximate thickness should be noted.</li>
	<li>For large plants, use sterile scissors and/or shears to cut a representative subsection of roots and place a minimum of 500 mg of root tissue into a 50 mL conical vial. For smaller grasses, place the entire root system into the vial. Add enough epiphyte removal buffer to cover the roots, then immediately place the sample on dry ice or flash freeze the sample in liquid N2. 
	NOTE: Take care not to overfill the 50 mL conical vial, as it will make washing step difficult. There should be enough empty space such that the epiphyte buffer is able to flow to the bottom, surround the roots throughout the vial, and cover the top. Because some grasses have more root biomass than will fit into a 50 mL conical vial, a subsection of the roots should be collected. However, it should be noted that cutting the roots could lead to endophytic bacteria being washed out into the rhizosphere fraction, so breaking roots should be minimized. If samples are not processed immediately after returning to lab, they can be stored at -80 &#176;C.</li>
	<li>To separate the rhizosphere from the roots, thaw the root sample on ice, then sonicate the root samples at 4 &#176;C for 10 min with pulses of 160 W for 30 s, separated by 30 s. Transfer the roots into a chilled (4 &#176;C), clean 50 mL tube using sterile forceps. Do not dispose the original tube with buffer and soil, which is the rhizosphere fraction (Figure 1).</li>
	<li>Centrifuge the tube containing buffer and rhizosphere for 10 min at 4 &#176;C, 4,000 x g. Decant the supernatant, flash freeze the tube containing the rhizosphere fraction in liquid N2, and store the rhizosphere fraction at -80 &#176;C until ready to proceed with DNA extraction (step 2).</li>
	<li>To wash the roots, add approximately 20 mL of chilled (4 &#176;C) sterile water to the root fraction. Wash the root by shaking vigorously (by hand or mixer, for 15 - 30 s), and then drain the water.</li>
	<li>Repeat this step at least twice, until no soil remains on the root surface. If the DNA extraction (step 2) is not performed immediately, wrap the roots in sterile aluminum foil, flash freeze the roots in liquid N2, and store the samples at -80 &#176;C until ready to proceed with DNA extraction.</li>
</ol>
2. DNA Extraction
NOTE: Throughout steps 2 and 3, clean gloves sterilized with ethanol should be worn at all times and all work should be performed on a surface sterilized with ethanol.
<ol>
	<li>Extract DNA from the soil and rhizosphere samples.
	<ol>
		<li>Use a sterile spatula to quickly transfer 250 mg of soil and rhizosphere from steps 1.3 and 1.7 into separate collection tubes provided in a commercial DNA isolation kit designed for extraction from soil, then proceed with DNA isolation using the kit supplier&#39;s protocol.</li>
		<li>After eluting the DNA in the elution buffer supplied by the DNA isolation kit, store the DNA at -20 &#176;C until ready to proceed with step 3.</li>
	</ol>
	</li>
	<li>Extract DNA from the root samples.
	<ol>
		<li>Chill a sterilized mortar and pestle using liquid N2. Measure out 600 to 700 mg of root tissue and place the tissue into the mortar. Carefully, add enough liquid N2 to cover the roots.</li>
		<li>Grind the roots into small pieces. Continue the process of adding liquid N2 and grinding (at least two times, be consistent between samples), until the roots are a fine powder. Ensure that the root tissue does not thaw during this step. 
		Caution: Use appropriate personal protective equipment (lab coat, protective eyewear, and cryogenic gloves) when working with liquid N2. 
		NOTE: For a low-quality DNA extraction, it can be beneficial to grind excess roots into powder and store the powder at -80 &#176;C.</li>
		<li>Quickly, before the root powder begins to thaw, use a sterile spatula to transfer the root powder into pre-weighed 1.5 mL tubes on ice. Record the weight of the tube and powder. Typically, 300 - 400 mg of powder is transferred.</li>
		<li>Use a sterile spatula to quickly transfer 150 mg of root powder to the collection tube provided in a commercial DNA isolation kit designed for extraction from soil, then proceed with DNA isolation using the kit supplier&#39;s protocol. 
		NOTE: For some root samples, there can be a high concentration of organics remaining in the DNA pellet, which prevents the amplification of the DNA during PCR, especially when a different DNA extraction protocol (e.g., CTAB extraction) is used. If necessary, clean the DNA by following the instructions provided in the environmental DNA clean-up kit.</li>
	</ol>
	</li>
	<li>Measure the concentration of all DNA samples using a high-sensitivity benchtop fluorometer.
	<ol>
		<li>Add 1 - 20 &#181;L of each eluted DNA sample into tubes provided in the dsDNA high-sensitivity assay kit. Add fluorometer working solution (1:200 dye:buffer) up to 200 &#181;L.</li>
		<li>Prepare two additional tubes containing 10 &#181;L of DNA standard 1 (0 ng/&#181;L DNA) or 10 &#181;L of standard 2 (100 ng/&#181;L), and add 190 &#181;L of fluorometer working solution to each standard.</li>
		<li>Measure the concentration of the standards and each sample. If it is not done automatically, calculate the DNA concentration from the absorbance output by a linear regression of the two standards.</li>
	</ol>
	</li>
</ol>
3. Amplicon Library Preparation and Submission
<ol>
	<li>Set up materials for the amplification reaction.
	<ol>
		<li>Thaw DNA samples at 4 &#176;C and keep them on ice throughout step 3. Randomize the order of DNA samples to minimize bias due to the location on the PCR plate (Table 2.)</li>
		<li>In a 96-well PCR plate, dilute DNA from each sample in molecular-grade water to 5 ng/&#181;L in a total volume of 20 &#181;L. Add 20 &#181;L of molecular-grade water to the four corner wells as negative controls for amplification (blanks) (Table 2).</li>
		<li>Arrange the barcoded primers (10 &#181;M) in either PCR strip tubes or a 96-well plate such that they can be added with a multi-channel pipette (Figure 2).</li>
		<li>Prepare sufficient PCR master mix to amplify each DNA sample in triplicate. Prepare 1.5 &#181;L of BSA (20 mg/mL), 37.5 &#181;L of pre-made 2x master mix (composed of PCR buffer, MgCl2, dNTPs, and&#160;Taq&#160;DNA polymerase), 0.57 &#181;L of chloroplast PNA (100 &#181;M), 0.57 &#181;L of mitochondrial PNA (100 &#181;M), and 25.86 &#181;L of molecular grade water.</li>
		<li>Pour the master mix into a sterile 25 mL of multichannel pipette reservoir and distribute 66 &#181;L of master mix into each well of a new 96-well PCR plate using a multichannel pipette. 
		NOTE: When calculating reagent volumes for the master mix, make sure to also include the 4 blank wells per plate.</li>
		<li>Using a multi-channel pipette, add 6 &#181;L of 5 ng/&#181;L DNA (from the normalized DNA plate) to the master mix plate. Then add to the master plate 1.5 &#181;L of 10 &#181;M forward primer such that each column has a different forward barcode, and 1.5 &#181;L of 10 &#181;M reverse primer such that each row has a different reverse barcode (Figure 2). 
		NOTE: Prior to adding primers, the randomized plates and master mix could be used to amplify the ITS or ITS2 fungal genes if different primers were added. If this is the case, a similar primer design can be used.</li>
		<li>Spin down the plate briefly at 3,000 x g. Use a multi-channel pipette to mix gently, then divide into three plates with 25 &#181;L of reaction mixture. 
		NOTE: Although three replicates are not strictly necessary, it decreases the impact of technical variability.</li>
	</ol>
	</li>
	<li>Amplify the DNA in each plate using a thermocycler set to the following conditions: 180 s at 98 &#176;C, 30 cycles of: 98 &#176;C for 45 s (denaturing), 78 &#176;C for 10 s (PNA annealing), 55 &#176;C for 60 s (primer annealing), and 72 &#176;C for 90 s (extension), then 600 s at 72 &#176;C followed by a 4 &#176;C hold step. After the amplification, pool the three replicate plates into one single 96-well plate.</li>
	<li>Quantify the DNA using high-sensitivity fluorometer reagents in a 96-well plate reader.
	<ol>
		<li>Add 2 &#181;L of each PCR product to a 96-well microplate, along with 98 &#181;L of fluorometer working solution (1:200 dye:buffer). Include 4 wells as standards: 5 &#181;L of DNA standard 1 (0 ng/&#181;L DNA), 1 &#181;L of standard 2 (10 ng/&#181;L), 2 &#181;L of standard 2 (20 ng/&#181;L), and 5 &#181;L of standard 2 (50 ng/&#181;L). Then add fluorometer working solution for a final volume of 100 &#181;L. 
		NOTE: Each sample can be measured using a benchtop fluorometer as described in step 2.3 if a plate reader is not available.</li>
		<li>Calculate the DNA concentration from the absorbance output by a linear regression of the four standards.</li>
		<li>For the successfully amplified barcoded products (those that have a concentration greater than 15 ng/&#181;L), pool 100 ng of each sample into a single 1.5 mL tube (Table 2).</li>
		<li>Calculate the average volume of samples added to the pool by using the =AVERAGE() function in a spreadsheet program. Add the volume of the &#34;blank&#34; PCR products to the pooled samples. 
		NOTE: Since the &#34;blank&#34; PCR products have their own unique barcode combinations, they can be sequenced to check for any laboratory contaminants.</li>
	</ol>
	</li>
	<li>Measure the concentration of the pooled product using a benchtop fluorometer as described in step 2.3, and take 600 ng of DNA and dilute in molecular-grade water to a final volume of 100 &#181;L in a 1.5 mL tube. Store the remaining pooled product at -20 &#176;C.</li>
	<li>Wash the 600 ng DNA aliquot by following the established PCR purification process with paramagnetic purification beads in a 96-well format with a few exceptions.
	<ol>
		<li>Make a fresh 600 &#181;L aliquot of 70% ethanol. Shake the bottle of magnetic beads to re-suspend beads that settle to the bottom.</li>
		<li>Add 1x volume (100 &#181;L) of bead solution to the 600 ng aliquot of DNA. Mix thoroughly by pipetting 10 times. Incubate for 5 min at room temperature.</li>
		<li>Place the tube onto the magnetic stand for 2 min (or until solution is clear) to separate beads from solution. While the tube is still in the magnetic stand, aspirate the clear supernatant carefully without touching the magnetic beads, and discard the clear supernatant. 
		NOTE: At this point, the amplicon products are bound to the magnetic beads. Any beads that are disturbed or lost during aspiration will result in a loss of DNA.</li>
		<li>Leave the tube in the magnetic stand and add 300 &#181;L of 70% ethanol to the tube; incubate at room temperature for 30 s. Aspirate out the ethanol and discard. Repeat this process, and remove all ethanol after the second wash. Remove the tube from the magnetic stand, and air dry for 5 min.</li>
		<li>Add 30 &#181;L of molecular-grade water to the dried beads and mix by pipetting 10 times. Incubate at room temperature for 2 min. Return the tube to the magnetic stand for 1 min to separate the beads from solution. Transfer the eluate to a new tube. 
		NOTE: Magnetic beads will not affect downstream reactions.</li>
	</ol>
	</li>
	<li>Measure the final concentration of cleaned, pooled DNA using a benchtop fluorometer as described in step 2.3. Dilute an aliquot to 10 nM in a final volume of 30 &#181;L, or to the concentration and volume preferred by the sequencing facility.</li>
	<li>Utilize the services of a sequencing facility to sequence the DNA on a NGS platform, 2 x 300 bp paired-end sequencing.</li>

This protocol demonstrates an established pipeline for exploring root endosphere, rhizosphere, and soil microbial community compositions, from field sampling to sample processing and downstream sequencing. Studying root-associated microbiomes presents unique challenges, due in part to the inherent difficulties in sampling from soil. Soils are highly variable in terms of physical and chemical properties, and different soil conditions can be separated by as little as a few millimeters28,<...

Plant-associated microbiomes consist of dynamic and complex microbial communities comprised of bacteria, archaea, viruses, fungi, and other eukaryotic microorganisms. In addition to their well-studied role in causing plant disease, plant-associated microbes can also positively influence plant health by improving tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, promoting nutrient availability, and enhancing plant growth through the production of phytohormones. For this reason, particular interest exists in characterizing the taxa that associate with plant root endospheres, rhizospheres, and the surrounding soil. While some microbes can be cultured in isolation on laboratory generated media, many cannot, in part because they may rely on symbiotic relationships with other microbes, grow very slowly, or require conditions that cannot be replicated in a lab environment. Because it circumvents the need for cultivation and is relatively inexpensive and high-throughput, sequence-based phylogenetic profiling of environmental and host-associated microbial samples has become a preferred method for assaying microbial community composition.
The selection of appropriate sequencing technologies provided by various next generation sequencing (NGS) platforms1 is dependent on the users&#39; needs, with important factors including: desired coverage, amplicon length, expected community diversity, as well as sequencing error-rate, read-length, and the cost-per-run/megabase. Another variable that needs to be considered in amplicon-based sequencing experiments is what gene will be amplified and what primers will be used. When designing or choosing primers, researchers are often forced to make tradeoffs between the universality of amplification and the taxonomic resolution achievable from the resulting amplicons. For this reason, these types of studies often chose primers and markers that selectively target specific subsets of the microbiome. Evaluating the composition of bacterial communities is commonly accomplished by sequencing one or more of the hypervariable regions of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene2,3. In this study, we describe an amplicon based sequencing protocol developed for a NGS platform that targets the 500 bp V3-V4 region of the bacterial 16S rRNA gene, which allows for broad amplification of bacterial taxa while also providing sufficient variability to distinguish between different taxa. Additionally, this protocol can easily be adapted for the use with other primer sets, such as those targeting the ITS2 marker of fungi or the 18S rRNA subunit of eukaryotes.
While other approaches such as shotgun metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, and single-cell sequencing, offer other advantages including resolved microbial genomes and more direct measurement of community function, these techniques are typically more expensive and computationally intensive than the phylogenetic profiling described here4. Additionally, performing shotgun metagenomics and metatranscriptomics on root samples yields a large percentage of reads belonging to the host plant genome, and methods to overcome this limitation are still being developed5,6.
As with any experimental platform, amplicon-based profiling can introduce a number of potential biases which should be considered during the experimental design and data analysis. These include the methods of sample collection, DNA extraction, selection of PCR primers, and how library preparation is performed. Different methods can significantly impact the amount of usable data generated, and can also hinder the efforts to compare results between studies. For example, the method of removing rhizosphere bacteria7 and the use of different extraction techniques or choice of DNA extraction kits8,9 have been shown to significantly impact downstream analysis, which leads to different conclusions regarding which microbes are present and their relative abundances. Since amplicon-based profiling can be customized, making comparisons across studies can be challenging. The Earth Microbiome Project has suggested that researchers studying complex systems such as the plant-associated microbiome would benefit from the development of standardized protocols as a means of minimizing the variability caused by the application of different methods between studies10,11. Here, we discuss many of the above topics and offer suggestions as to best practices where appropriate.
The protocol demonstrates the process of collecting soil, rhizosphere, and root samples from Sorghum bicolor and extracting DNA using a well-established DNA isolation kit11. Additionally, our protocol includes a detailed amplicon sequencing workflow, using a commonly utilized NGS platform, to determine the structure of the bacterial communities12,13,14. This protocol has been validated for the use in a wide range of plant hosts in a recent published study of the roots, rhizosphere, and associated-soils of 18 monocot species including Sorghum bicolor, Zea mays, and Triticum aestivum15. This method has also been validated for use with other marker genes, as demonstrated by its successful application to studying the fungal ITS2 marker gene in studies of the agave microbiome16,17 and strawberry microbiome18.

exploring the root microbiome: extracting bacterial community data from the soil, rhizosphere, and root endosphere

The intimate interaction between plant host and associated microorganisms is crucial in determining plant fitness, and can foster improved tolerance to abiotic stresses and diseases. As the plant microbiome can be highly complex, low-cost, high-throughput methods such as amplicon-based sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene are often preferred for characterizing its microbial composition and diversity. However, the selection of appropriate methodology when conducting such experiments is critical for reducing biases that can make analysis and comparisons between samples and studies difficult. This protocol describes in detail a standardized methodology for the collection and extraction of DNA from soil, rhizosphere, and root samples. Additionally, we highlight a well-established 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing pipeline that allows for the exploration of the composition of bacterial communities in these samples, and can easily be adapted for other marker genes. This pipeline has been validated for a variety of plant species, including sorghum, maize, wheat, strawberry, and agave, and can help overcome issues associated with the contamination from plant organelles.

Performing the recommended protocol should result in a dataset of indexed paired-end reads that can be matched back to each sample and assigned to either a bacterial operational taxonomic units (OTU) or exact sequence variant (ESV, also referred to as amplicon sequence variant (ASV) and sub-operational taxonomic unit (sOTU)), depending on downstream analysis. In order to obtain high-quality sequence data, care must be taken at each step to maintain consistency between samples and minimize...

Conjugative Mating Assays for Sequence-specific Analysis of Transfer Proteins Involved in Bacterial Conjugation

The transfer of genetic material by bacterial conjugation is a process that takes place via complexes formed by specific transfer proteins. In Escherichia coli, these transfer proteins make up a DNA transfer machinery known as the mating pair formation, or DNA transfer complex, which facilitates conjugative plasmid transfer. The objective of this paper is to provide a method that can be used to determine the role of a specific transfer protein that is involved in conjugation using a series of deletions and/or point mutations in combination with mating assays. The target gene is knocked out on the conjugative plasmid and is then provided in trans through the use of a small recovery plasmid harboring the target gene. Mutations affecting the target gene on the recovery plasmid can reveal information about functional aspects of the target protein that result in the alteration of mating efficiency of donor cells harboring the mutated gene. Alterations in mating efficiency provide insight into the role and importance of the particular transfer protein, or a region therein, in facilitating conjugative DNA transfer. Coupling this mating assay with detailed three-dimensional structural studies will provide a comprehensive understanding of the function of the conjugative transfer protein as well as provide a means for identifying and characterizing regions of protein-protein interaction.

Here, we present a protocol to knockout a gene of interest involved in plasmid conjugation and subsequently analyze the impact of its absence using mating assays. The function of the gene is further explored to a specific region of its sequence using deletion or point mutations.

Transcriptomic Analysis of C. elegans RNA Sequencing Data Through the Tuxedo Suite on the Galaxy Project

Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies have revolutionized the nature of biological investigation. Of these, RNA Sequencing (RNA-Seq) has emerged as a powerful tool for gene-expression analysis and transcriptome mapping. However, handling RNA-Seq datasets requires sophisticated computational expertise and poses inherent challenges for biology researchers. This bottleneck has been mitigated by the open access Galaxy project that allows users without bioinformatics skills to analyze RNA-Seq data, and the Database for Annotation, Visualization, and Integrated Discovery (DAVID), a Gene Ontology (GO) term analysis suite that helps derive biological meaning from large data sets. However, for first-time users and bioinformatics' amateurs, self-learning and familiarization with these platforms can be time-consuming and daunting. We describe a straightforward workflow that will help C. elegans researchers to isolate worm RNA, conduct an RNA-Seq experiment and analyze the data using Galaxy and DAVID platforms. This protocol provides stepwise instructions for using the various Galaxy modules for accessing raw NGS data, quality-control checks, alignment, and differential gene expression analysis, guiding the user with parameters at every step to generate a gene list that can be screened for enrichment of gene classes or biological processes using DAVID. Overall, we anticipate that this article will provide information to C. elegans researchers undertaking RNA-Seq experiments for the first time as well as frequent users running a small number of samples.

Bidirectional Retroviral Integration Site PCR Methodology and Quantitative Data Analysis Workflow

Integration Site (IS) assays are a critical component of the study of retroviral integration sites and their biological significance. In recent retroviral gene therapy studies, IS assays, in combination with next-generation sequencing, have been used as a cell-tracking tool to characterize clonal stem cell populations sharing the same IS. For the accurate comparison of repopulating stem cell clones within and across different samples, the detection sensitivity, data reproducibility, and high-throughput capacity of the assay are among the most important assay qualities. This work provides a detailed protocol and data analysis workflow for bidirectional IS analysis. The bidirectional assay can simultaneously sequence both upstream and downstream vector-host junctions. Compared to conventional unidirectional IS sequencing approaches, the bidirectional approach significantly improves IS detection rates and the characterization of integration events at both ends of the target DNA. The data analysis pipeline described here accurately identifies and enumerates identical IS sequences through multiple steps of comparison that map IS sequences onto the reference genome and determine sequencing errors. Using an optimized assay procedure, we have recently published the detailed repopulation patterns of thousands of Hematopoietic Stem Cell (HSC) clones following transplant in rhesus macaques, demonstrating for the first time the precise time point of HSC repopulation and the functional heterogeneity of HSCs in the primate system. The following protocol describes the step-by-step experimental procedure and data analysis workflow that accurately identifies and quantifies identical IS sequences.

This manuscript describes the experimental procedure and software analysis for a bidirectional integration site assay that can simultaneously analyze upstream and downstream vector-host junction DNA. Bidirectional PCR products can be used for any downstream sequencing platform. The resulting data are useful for a high-throughput, quantitative comparison of integrated DNA targets.

Determination of the Optimal Chromosomal Location(s) for a DNA Element in Escherichia coli Using a Novel Transposon-mediated Approach

The optimal chromosomal position(s) of a given DNA element was/were determined by transposon-mediated random insertion followed by fitness selection. In bacteria, the impact of the genetic context on the function of a genetic element can be difficult to assess. Several mechanisms, including topological effects, transcriptional interference from neighboring genes, and/or replication-associated gene dosage, may affect the function of a given genetic element. Here, we describe a method that permits the random integration of a DNA element into the chromosome of Escherichia coli and select the most favorable locations using a simple growth competition experiment. The method takes advantage of a well-described transposon-based system of random insertion, coupled with a selection of the fittest clone(s) by growth advantage, a procedure that is easily adjustable to experimental needs. The nature of the fittest clone(s) can be determined by whole-genome sequencing on a complex multi-clonal population or by easy gene walking for the rapid identification of selected clones. Here, the non-coding DNA region DARS2, which controls the initiation of chromosome replication in E. coli, was used as an example. The function of DARS2 is known to be affected by replication-associated gene dosage; the closer DARS2 gets to the origin of DNA replication, the more active it becomes. DARS2 was randomly inserted into the chromosome of a DARS2-deleted strain. The resultant clones containing individual insertions were pooled and competed against one another for hundreds of generations. Finally, the fittest clones were characterized and found to contain DARS2 inserted in close proximity to the original DARS2 location.

Sample Preparation and Analysis of RNASeq-based Gene Expression Data from Zebrafish

The analysis of global gene expression changes is a valuable tool for identifying novel pathways underlying observed phenotypes. The zebrafish is an excellent model for rapid assessment of whole transcriptome from whole animal or individual cell populations due to the ease of isolation of RNA from large numbers of animals. Here a protocol for global gene expression analysis in zebrafish embryos using RNA sequencing (RNASeq) is presented. We describe preparation of RNA from whole embryos or from cell populations obtained using cell sorting in transgenic animals. We also describe an approach for analysis of RNASeq data to identify enriched pathways and Gene Ontology (GO) terms in global gene expression data sets. Finally, we provide a protocol for validation of gene expression changes using quantitative reverse transcriptase PCR (qRT-PCR). These protocols can be used for comparative analysis of control and experimental sets of zebrafish to identify novel gene expression changes, and provide molecular insight into phenotypes of interest.

This protocol presents an approach for whole transcriptome analysis from zebrafish embryos, larvae, or sorted cells. We include isolation of RNA, pathway analysis of RNASeq data, and qRT-PCR-based validation of gene expression changes.

Informatic Analysis of Sequence Data from Batch Yeast 2-Hybrid Screens

We have adapted the yeast 2-hybrid assay to simultaneously uncover dozens of transient and static protein interactions within a single screen utilizing high-throughput short-read DNA sequencing. The resulting sequence datasets can not only track what genes in a population that are enriched during selection for positive yeast 2-hybrid interactions, but also give detailed information about the relevant subdomains of proteins sufficient for interaction. Here, we describe a full suite of stand-alone software programs that allow non-experts to perform all the bioinformatics and statistical steps to process and analyze DNA sequence fastq files from a batch yeast 2-hybrid assay. The processing steps covered by these software include: 1) mapping and counting sequence reads corresponding to each candidate protein encoded within a yeast 2-hybrid prey library; 2) a statistical analysis program that evaluates the enrichment profiles; and 3) tools to examine the translational frame and position within the coding region of each enriched plasmid that encodes the interacting proteins of interest.

Deep sequencing of yeast populations selected for positive yeast 2-hybrid interactions potentially yields a wealth of information about interacting partner proteins. Here, we describe the operation of specific bioinformatics tools and customized updated software to analyze sequence data from such screens.

Exploring the Effects of Spaceflight on Mouse Physiology using the Open Access NASA GeneLab Platform

Performing biological experiments in space requires special accommodations and procedures to ensure that these investigations are performed effectively and efficiently. Moreover, given the infrequency of these experiments it is imperative that their impacts be maximized. The rapid advancement of omics technologies offers an opportunity to dramatically increase the volume of data produced from precious spaceflight specimens. To capitalize on this, NASA has developed the GeneLab platform to provide unrestricted access to spaceflight omics data and encourage its widespread analysis. Rodents (both rats and mice) are common model organisms used by scientists to investigate space-related biological impacts. The enclosure that house rodents during spaceflight are called Rodent Habitats (formerly Animal Enclosure Modules), and are substantially different from standard vivarium cages in their dimensions, air flow, and access to water and food. In addition, due to environmental and atmospheric conditions on the International Space Station (ISS), animals are exposed to a higher CO2 concentration. We recently reported that mice in the Rodent Habitats experience large changes in their transcriptome irrespective of whether animals were on the ground or in space. Furthermore, these changes were consistent with a hypoxic response, potentially driven by higher CO2 concentrations. Here we describe how a typical rodent experiment is performed in space, how omics data from these experiments can be accessed through the GeneLab platform, and how to identify key factors in this data. Using this process, any individual can make critical discoveries that could change the design of future space missions and activities.

The NASA GeneLab platform provides unfettered access to precious omics data from biological spaceflight experiments. We describe how a typical mouse experiment is conducted in space and how data from such experiments can be accessed and analyzed.

Isolating, Sequencing and Analyzing Extracellular MicroRNAs from Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Extracellular and circulating RNAs (exRNA) are produced by many cell types of the body and exist in numerous bodily fluids such as saliva, plasma, serum, milk and urine. One subset of these RNAs are the posttranscriptional regulators &#8211; microRNAs (miRNAs). To delineate the miRNAs produced by specific cell types, in vitro culture systems can be used to harvest and profile exRNAs derived from one subset of cells. The secreted factors of mesenchymal stem cells are implicated in alleviating numerous diseases and is used as the in vitro model system here. This paper describes the process of collection, purification of small RNA and library generation to sequence extracellular miRNAs. ExRNAs from culture media differ from cellular RNA by being low RNA input samples, which calls for optimized procedures. This protocol provides a comprehensive guide to small exRNA sequencing from culture media, showing quality control checkpoints at each step during exRNA purification and sequencing.

This protocol demonstrates how to purify extracellular microRNAs from cell culture media for small RNA library construction and next generation sequencing. Various quality control checkpoints are described to allow readers to understand what to expect when working with low input samples like exRNAs.

Using In Vitro and In-cell SHAPE to Investigate Small Molecule Induced Pre-mRNA Structural Changes

In the process of drug development of RNA-targeting small molecules, elucidating the structural changes upon their interactions with target RNA sequences is desired. We herein provide a detailed in vitro and in-cell selective 2&#39;-hydroxyl acylation analyzed by primer extension (SHAPE) protocol to study the RNA structural change in the presence of an experimental drug for spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), survival of motor neuron (SMN)-C2, and in exon 7 of the pre-mRNA of the SMN2 gene. In in vitro SHAPE, an RNA sequence of 140 nucleotides containing SMN2 exon 7 is transcribed by T7 RNA polymerase, folded in the presence of SMN-C2, and subsequently modified by a mild 2&#39;-OH acylation reagent, 2-methylnicotinic acid imidazolide (NAI). This 2&#39;-OH-NAI adduct is further probed by a 32P-labeled primer extension and resolved by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE). Conversely, 2&#39;-OH acylation in in-cell SHAPE takes place in situ with SMN-C2 bound cellular RNA in living cells. The pre-mRNA sequence of exon 7 in the SMN2 gene, along with SHAPE-induced mutations in the primer extension, was then amplified by PCR and subject to next-generation sequencing. Comparing the two methodologies, in vitro SHAPE is a more cost-effective method and does not require computational power to visualize results. However, the in vitro SHAPE-derived RNA model sometimes deviates from the secondary structure in a cellular context, likely due to the loss of all interactions with RNA-binding proteins. In-cell SHAPE does not need a radioactive material workplace and yields a more accurate RNA secondary structure in the cellular context. Furthermore, in-cell SHAPE is usually applicable for a larger range of RNA sequences (~1,000 nucleotides) by utilizing next-generation sequencing, compared to in vitro SHAPE (~200 nucleotides) that usually relies on PAGE analysis. In case of exon 7 in SMN2 pre-mRNA, the in vitro and in-cell SHAPE derived RNA models are similar to each other.

Detailed protocols for both in vitro and in-cell selective 2&#39;-hydroxyl acylation analyzed by primer extension (SHAPE) experiments to determine the secondary structure of pre-mRNA sequences of interest in the presence of an RNA-targeting small molecule are presented in this article.

Exploring Sequence Space to Identify Binding Sites for Regulatory RNA-Binding Proteins

Gene regulation plays an important role in all cells. Transcriptional, post-transcriptional (or RNA processing), translational, and post-translational steps are used to regulate specific genes. Sequence-specific nucleic acid-binding proteins target specific sequences to control spatial or temporal gene expression. The binding sites in nucleic acids are typically characterized by mutational analysis. However, numerous proteins of interest have no known binding site for such characterization. Here we describe an approach to identify previously unknown binding sites for RNA-binding proteins. It involves iterative selection and amplification of sequences starting with a randomized sequence pool. Following several rounds of these steps-transcription, binding, and amplification-the enriched sequences are sequenced to identify a preferred binding site(s). Success of this approach is monitored using in vitro binding assays. Subsequently, in vitro and in vivo functional assays can be used to assess the biological relevance of the selected sequences. This approach allows identification and characterization of a previously unknown binding site(s) for any RNA-binding protein for which an assay to separate protein-bound and unbound RNAs exists.

Sequence specificity is critical for gene regulation. Regulatory proteins that recognize specific sequences are important for gene regulation. Defining functional binding sites for such proteins is a challenging biological problem. An iterative approach for identification of a binding site for an RNA-binding protein is described here and is applicable to all RNA-binding proteins.
