Daphniaare key model organisms for mechanistic studies of phenotypic plasticity, adaptation and microevolution, which have led to an increasing demand for genomics resources. A key step in any genomics analysis, such as high-throughput sequencing, is the availability of sufficient and high quality DNA. Although commercial kits exist to extract genomic DNA from several species, preparation of high quality DNA fromDaphniaspp. and other chitinous species can be challenging. Here, we optimise methods for tissue homogenisation, DNA extraction and quantification customised for different downstream analyses (e.g., LC-MS/MS, Hiseq, mate pair sequencing or Nanopore). We demonstrate that ifDaphnia magnaare homogenised as whole animals (including the carapace), absorbance-based DNA quantification methods significantly over-estimate the amount of DNA, resulting in using insufficient starting material for experiments, such as preparation of sequencing libraries. This is attributed to the high refractive index of chitin inDaphnia’scarapace at 260 nm. Therefore, unless the carapace is removed by overnight proteinase digestion, the extracted DNA should be quantified with fluorescence-based methods. However, overnight proteinase digestion will result in partial fragmentation of DNA therefore the prepared DNA is not suitable for downstream methods that require high molecular weight DNA, such as PacBio, mate pair sequencing and Nanopore. In conclusion, we found that the MasterPure DNA purification kit, coupled with grinding of frozen tissue, is the best method for extraction of high molecular weight DNA as long as the extracted DNA is quantified with fluorescence-based methods. This method generated high yield and high molecular weight DNA (3.10 ± 0.63 ng/µg dry mass, fragments >60 kb), free of organic contaminants (phenol, chloroform) and is suitable for large number of downstream analyses.

Abstract Background. Metagenomics is a powerful and rapidly developing approach that provides new biological insights into the microbes inhabiting underexplored environments, such as canine fecal microbiome. We investigate long-read metagenomics with Nanopore sequencing to profile the fecal microbiome and to retrieve high-quality metagenome-assembled genomes (HQ MAGs) from a healthy dog.Results. More than 99% of total classified reads corresponded to Bacteria. The most abundant phylum was Bacteroidetes (~80% of total reads), followed by Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Fusobacteria. Prevotella (>50%) and Bacteroides (>20%) are the more abundant genera, followed by Fusobacterium, Megamonas, Sutterella, and other fecal-related genera, (each representing <5% of the total bacterial composition). We retrieved eight single-contig HQ MAGs and three medium-quality MAGs, after combining several metagenome dataset assemblies. The HQ MAGs corresponded to Succinivibrio, Sutterella, Prevotellamassilia, Phascolarctobacterium, Enterococcus, Blautia, and Catenibacterium genera. Succinivibrio HQ MAG represents a novel candidate bacterial species. Sutterella HQ MAG is potentially the first reported genome assembly for Sutterella stercoricanis, as assigned by 16S rRNA gene similarity. Prevotellamassilia, Phascolarctobacterium, Catenibacterium, and Blautia sp900541345 HQ MAGs improved the contiguity of previously reported genome assemblies in their respective genera, and the number of rRNA genes and tRNA genes. Finally, Enterococcus hirae and Blautia sp003287895 HQ MAGs represented species that already have a complete reference genome. At the technical level, we demonstrated that a high-molecular weight DNA extraction improved the taxonomic classification of the raw unassembled reads, the metagenomics assembly contiguity, and the retrieval of longer and circular contigs, which are potential HQ MAGs. Conclusions. Long-read metagenomics allowed us to recover HQ MAGs from canine feces of a healthy dog. The high-molecular weight DNA extraction to improve contiguity and the correction of the insertions and deletions to reduce frameshift errors ensure the retrieval of complete single-contig HQ MAGs.
