SRA Submission – Olymia oyster Whole Genome BS-seq Data

Submitted our whole genome bisulfite sequencing data to NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA).

DNA Isolation – Oly gDNA for BS-seq

Need DNA to prep our own libraries for bisulfite-treated high-throughput sequencing (BS-seq).

Isolated gDNA from the following tissue samples stored in RNAlater (tissue was not weighed) using DNAzol:

2NF1
2NF2
2NF3
2NF4
2NF5
2NF6
2NF7
2NF8
1NF11
1NF12
1NF13
1NF14
1NF15
1NF16
1NF17
1NF18

The sample coding breaks down as follows (see the project wiki for a full explanation):

2NF#

2 = Oysters outplanted in Fidalgo Bay

NF = Broodstock originated in Fidalgo Bay

# = Sample number

1NF#

1 = Oysters outplanted in Oyster Bay

NF = Broodstock originated in Fidalgo Bay

# = Sample number

 

DNA was isolated in the following manner:

  • Homogenized tissues in 500μL of DNAzol (Molecular Research Center; MRC).
  • Added additional 500μL of DNAzol.
  • Added 10μL of RNase A (10mg/mL, ThermoFisher); incubated 10mins @ RT.
  • Added 300μL of chloroform and mixed moderately fast by hand.
  • Incubated 5mins @ RT.
  • Centrifuged 12,000g, 10mins, RT.
  • Transferred aqueous phase to clean tube.
  • Added 500μL of 100% EtOH and mixed by inversion.
  • Pelleted DNA 5,000g, 5mins @ RT.
  • Performed 3 washes w/70% EtOH.
  • Dried pellet 3mins.
  • Resuspended in 100μL of Buffer EB (Qiagen).
  • Centrifuged 12,000g, 10mins, RT to pellet insoluble material.
  • Transferred supe to clean tube.

The samples were quantified using the Qubit dsDNA BR reagents (Invitrogen) according to the manufacturer’s protocol and used 1μL of sample for measurement.

Will run samples on gel tomorrow to evaluate gDNA integrity.

MBD Enrichment – Sonicated Olympia Oyster gDNA

Olympia oyster gDNA that had previously been sonicated and fragmented was enriched for the methylated fragments using the MethylMiner Methylated DNA Enrichment Kit (Invitrogen).

Prepared the following components:

  • 20mL 1x Bind/Wash Buffer (4mL 5x Bind/Wash Buffer + 16mL H2O)
  • 640μL of beads (35μL of beads x 18 samples )
  • 200μL MBD-Biotin Protein (63μL MBD-Biotin Protein + 137μL 1x Bind/Wash Buffer)

Followed the manufacturer’s protocol for input DNA quantities 1μg – 10μg.

Used single fraction, high salt elution.

Neglected to account for the control reaction during initial set up and did not have sufficient quantities of beads to run a control reaction.

The table below provides the individual sample volumes and the volumes of the buffer, beads, H2O for the MBD capture reactions.

Samples listed with “NA” were not processed because they did not fragment during sonication.

Non-captured & wash fractions were pooled into single samples and stored @ -20C.

MBD fraction was EtOH precipitated according to the manufacturer’s protocol and incubate O/N @ -80C.

 

DNA Sonication – Oly gDNA for MBD

In preparation for MBD enrichment, fragmented Olympia oyster gDNA with a target size of ~350bp.

Genomic DNA samples were isolated and provided to us by Katherine Silliman at UIC. Selected samples will compare Hood Canal (HC) and Oyster Bay (SS, South Sound) populations.

Used the Seeb Lab’s Bioruptor 300 (Diagenode) sonicator.

After sonication, samples were run on a the Seeb Lab’s 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent) on DNA 12000 chips.

Results:

HOOD CANAL SAMPLES

 

OYSTER BAY SAMPLES

More detailed analysis (including average fragment size for each samples) will be coming soon…
