AbstractWe present an optimized protocol for enhanced amplification and enrichment of viral DNA for Next Generation Sequencing of begomovirus genomes. The rapid ability of these viruses to evolve threatens many crops and underscores the importance of using next generation sequencing efficiently to detect and understand the diversity of these viruses. We combined enhanced rolling circle amplification (RCA) with EquiPhi29 polymerase and size selection to generate a cost-effective, short-read sequencing method. This optimized protocol produced short-read sequencing with at least 50% of the reads mapping to the viral reference genome. We provide other insights into common misconceptions about RCA and lessons we have learned from sequencing single-stranded DNA viruses. Our protocol can be used to examine viral DNA as it moves through the entire pathosystem from host to vector, providing valuable information for viral DNA population studies, and would likely work well with other CRESS DNA viruses.HighlightsProtocol for short-read, high throughput sequencing of single-stranded DNA viruses using random primersComparison of the sequencing of total DNA versus size-selected DNAComparison of phi29 and Equiphi29 DNA polymerases for rolling circle amplification of viral single-stranded DNA genomes

Abstract The identification of rare haplotypes may greatly expand our knowledge in the genetic architecture of both complex and monogenic traits. To this aim, we developed PERHAPS (Paired-End short Reads-based HAPlotyping from next-generation Sequencing data), a new and simple approach to directly call haplotypes from short-read, paired-end Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) data. To benchmark this method, we considered the APOE classic polymorphism (*1/*2/*3/*4), since it represents one of the best examples of functional polymorphism arising from the haplotype combination of two Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs). We leveraged the big Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) and SNP-array data obtained from the multi-ethnic UK BioBank (UKBB, N=48,855). By applying PERHAPS, based on piecing together the paired-end reads according to their FASTQ-labels, we extracted the haplotype data, along with their frequencies and the individual diplotype. Concordance rates between WES directly called diplotypes and the ones generated through statistical pre-phasing and imputation of SNP-array data are extremely high (>99%), either when stratifying the sample by SNP-array genotyping batch or self-reported ethnic group. Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium tests and the comparison of obtained haplotype frequencies with the ones available from the 1000 Genome Project further supported the reliability of PERHAPS. Notably, we were able to determine the existence of the rare APOE*1 haplotype in two unrelated African subjects from UKBB, supporting its presence at appreciable frequency (approximatively 0.5%) in the African Yoruba population. Despite acknowledging some technical shortcomings, PERHAPS represents a novel and simple approach that will partly overcome the limitations in direct haplotype calling from short read-based sequencing.

AbstractDouble stranded RNA (dsRNA) is the genetic material of important viruses and a key component of RNA interference-based immunity in eukaryotes. Previous studies have noted difficulties in determining the sequence of dsRNA molecules that have affected studies of immune function and estimates of viral diversity in nature. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) has been used to denature dsRNA prior to the reverse transcription stage to improve RT-PCR and Sanger sequencing. We systematically tested the utility of DMSO to improve sequencing yield of a dsRNA virus (Φ6) in a short-read next generation sequencing platform. DMSO treatment improved sequencing read recovery by over two orders of magnitude, even when RNA and cDNA concentrations were below the limit of detection. We also tested the effects of DMSO on a mock eukaryotic viral community and found that dsRNA virus reads increased with DMSO treatment. Furthermore, we provide evidence that DMSO treatment does not adversely affect recovery of reads from a single-stranded RNA viral genome (Influenza A/California/07/2009). We suggest that up to 50% DMSO treatment be used prior to cDNA synthesis when samples of interest are composed of or may contain dsRNA.Data SummarySequence data was deposited in the NCBI Short Read Archive (accession numbers: PRJNA527100, PRJNA527101, PRJNA527098). Data and code for analysis is available on GitHub (https://github.com/awilcox83/dsRNA-sequencing/, doi:10.5281/zenodo.1453423). Protocol for dsRNA sequencing is posted on protocols.io (doi:10.17504/protocols.io.ugnetve).
