Tech Note- Increased Complexity of Amplicon Libraries using Phased Primers

Bonath, F.Open in Google Scholar

Phased primers are used during the first PCR of amplicon library preparation in order to increase the complexity of the library. This increased complexity leads to improved sequencing quality even when sequencing with a 2x300 paired-end setup. We can show that libraries prepared using a phased primer approach are complex enough to reduce the amount of PhiX added to the sequencing reaction to that of other, complex libraries.

The human IG heavy chain constant gene locus is enriched for large structural variants and coding polymorphisms that vary among human populations
The human immunoglobulin heavy chain constant (IGHC) domain of antibodies (Ab) is responsible for effector functions critical to immunity. This domain is encoded by genes in the IGHC locus, where descriptions of genomic diversity remain incomplete. We utilized long-read sequencing to build an IGHC haplotype/variant catalog from 105 individuals of diverse ancestry. We discovered uncharacterized sin...

Multimodal single-cell analyses reveal distinct fusion-regulated transcriptional programs in Ewing sarcoma.
Ewing sarcoma (EwS) is a fusion-driven malignancy, peaking in adolescence. Although EwS tumors are driven uniquely by EWS::FLI1 and related fusions, patient outcomes vary greatly. If and how tumor plasticity of EWS::FLI1-regulated transcriptional signatures contribute to disease progression is not known. To address this, we utilized a single-cell co-assay of RNA and chromatin accessibility (ATAC) ...

Lithium partially rescues gene expression and enhancer activity from heterozygous knockout of AKAP11 while inducing novel differential changes
Bipolar disorder (BD) is a complex psychiatric condition usually requiring long-term treatment. Lithium (Li) remains the most effective mood stabilizer for BD, yet it benefits only a subset of patients, and its precise mechanism of action remains elusive. Exome sequencing has identified AKAP11 (A-kinase anchoring protein 11) as a shared risk gene for BD and schizophrenia (SCZ). Given that both the...

An epigenomic investigation of atrial fibrillation in a matched left and right atrial human cohort
As the most prevalent cardiac arrythmia, atrial fibrillation is an important contributor to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Human population findings increasingly support its complex genetic architecture, with most genetic association signals for atrial fibrillation found in the non-coding genome. In this study, we integrated genome-wide histone modification, gene expression and DNA methyl...

Population genomics highlight the vulnerability of coral-dwelling gobies to ecological losses due to climatic disturbances
Predicting species resilience to climate change generally focuses on species life history and ecology, overlooking genomic changes following disturbances. After consecutive cyclones and heatwaves, coral-dwelling Gobiodon gobies have experienced extreme population and group size reductions, and slower recovery rates than their coral hosts. To assess genomic contributions to this vulnerability, we a...

The genome of the Glacier lanternfish shows loss of MHC I and II function and provides insight into evolution of lanternfish immune systems
Lanternfishes (Myctophidae) are one of the most abundant and species diverse orders inhabiting the mesopelagic zone. Exploitation of marine resources has recently attracted increased interest. It is therefore essential to improve our understanding of the meso- and deep pelagic ecosystems with respect to conservation and management strategies. Genomic resources are paramount to enable in-depth stud...

Long-read sequencing of single cell-derived melanoma subclones reveals divergent and parallel genomic and epigenomic evolutionary trajectories
Tumor evolution is driven by various mutational processes, ranging from single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) to large structural variants (SVs) to dynamic shifts in DNA methylation. Current short-read sequencing methods struggle to accurately capture the full spectrum of these genomic and epigenomic alterations due to inherent technical limitations. To overcome that, here we introduce an approach for...

Mitochondrial genome reduction and accelerated evolution in planktonic foraminiferans
The evolution of mitochondria provides crucial insights into the diversification of eukaryotes, with complex events of gene losses revealed through comparative analyses of mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) across eukaryotic lineages. However, the mitogenomes of many microbial eukaryotes remain underexplored due to challenges in their isolation and cultivation. Particularly understudied are Foram...

A co-speciation dilemma and a lifestyle transition with genomic consequences in Wolbachia of Neotropical Drosophila
Background: Long-term persistent symbiotic associations may result in co-speciation and can be inferred if species trees of hosts and symbionts are congruent in topology and divergence times. Co-speciation has been seen to occur relatively frequently in obligate associations, but is less common in parasitic or facultative ones, mainly due to the difference in horizontal transmission rates. The lon...
