Project description:Genomic DNA from 55 Col x Ler F2 individuals was extracted using CTAB and used to generate sequencing libraries as described (Rowan et al; Yelina et al), with the following modifications. DNA was extracted from 3 rosette leaves of 5 week old plants and 150 ng of DNA used as input for each library. DNA shearing was carried out for 20 minutes at 37°C with 0.4U of DNA Shearase (Zymo research). The barcoded adapters used for library construction are listed in Rowan et al. Each set of 96 libraries was sequenced on one lane of an Illumina NextSeq500 instrument (300-cycle Mid Output run). Sequencing data was analysed to identify crossovers as previously reported, using the TIGER pipeline. The same gDNA was pooled into two groups (pool1 = F2_1 to F2_4; pool2 = F2_5 to F2_55) and sequenced with Nanopore PromethION, which is available at E-MTAB-14367
Project description:We sequenced DNA from a bulk of Col x Ler F2 hybrid plants (WT and recq4) using Nanopore long-read sequencing and identified crossover sites with COmapper. For nanopore sequencing of gDNA from 1,000 pooled seedlings, 10-day-old seedlings were ground in liquid nitrogen using a mortar and pestle. The ground tissue was resuspended in four volumes of CTAB buffer (1% [w/v] CTAB, 50 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 0.7 M NaCl, 10 mM EDTA) and incubated at 65°C for 30 min. Following chloroform extraction, isopropanol precipitation and removal of RNAs as above, the gDNA pellet was resuspended in 150 μl TE (10 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 0.1 mM EDTA) buffer and gDNA was quantified using a Qubit dsDNA Broad Range assay kit (Thermo Fisher, Q32853). Nine micrograms of gDNA from pollen or seedlings was used to construct a nanopore long-read sequencing library using a Ligation Sequencing Kit V14 (Nanopore, SQK-LSK114). The libraries were sequenced using a PromethION platform (BGI, Hong Kong).
