This procedure provides instructions on how to prepare DNA libraries for whole genome sequencing on an Illumina MiSeq or NextSeq using Illumina’s DNA Prep Library Preparation Kit scaled to half reaction volumes with modifications to the post-PCR procedures; tagmentation stop buffer and associated washes are removed and libraries are pooled post PCR then a single size selection is performed. This protocol is used to sequence SARS-CoV-2 using the cDNA/PCR protocol: https://dx.doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.b3viqn4e

ABSTRACTBackgroundEmergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants with concerning phenotypic mutations is of public health interest. Genomic surveillance is an important tool for pandemic response, but many laboratories do not have the resources to support population-level sequencing. We hypothesized that a spike genotyping nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) could facilitate high-throughput variant surveillance.MethodsWe designed and analytically validated a one-step multiplex allele-specific reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) to detect three non-synonymous spike protein mutations (L452R, E484K, N501Y). Assay specificity was validated with next-generation whole-genome sequencing. We then screened a large cohort of SARS-CoV-2 positive specimens from our San Francisco Bay Area population.ResultsBetween December 1, 2020 and March 1, 2021, we screened 4,049 unique infections by genotyping RT-qPCR, with an assay failure rate of 2.8%. We detected 1,567 L452R mutations (38.7%), 34 N501Y mutations (0.84%), 22 E484K mutations (0.54%), and 3 (0.07%) E484K+N501Y mutations. The assay had near-perfect (98-100%) concordance with whole-genome sequencing in a validation subset of 229 specimens, and detected B.1.1.7, B.1.351, B.1.427, B.1.429, B.1.526, and P.2 variants, among others. The assay revealed rapid emergence of L452R in our population, with a prevalence of 24.8% in December 2020 that increased to 62.5% in March 2021.ConclusionsWe developed and clinically implemented a genotyping RT-qPCR to conduct high-throughput SARS-CoV-2 variant screening. This approach can be adapted for emerging mutations and immediately implemented in laboratories already performing NAAT worldwide using existing equipment, personnel, and extracted nucleic acid.Summary / Key PointsEmergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants with concerning phenotypes is of public health interest. We developed a multiplex genotyping RT-qPCR to rapidly detect L452R, E484K, and N501Y with high sequencing concordance. This high-throughput alternative to resource-intensive sequencing enabled surveillance of L452R emergence.

Classification by serotyping is the essential first step in the characterization ofSalmonellaisolates and is important for surveillance, source tracking, and outbreak detection. To improve detection and reduce the burden of salmonellosis, several rapid and high-throughput molecularSalmonellaserotyping methods have been developed.The aim of this study was to compare three commercial kits, Salm SeroGen (Salm Sero-Genotyping AS-1 kit), Check&Trace (Check-Points), and xMAP (xMAPSalmonellaserotyping assay), to theSalmonellagenoserotyping array (SGSA) developed by our laboratory. They were assessed using a panel of 321 isolates that represent commonly reported serovars from human and nonhuman sources globally. The four methods correctly identified 73.8% to 94.7% of the isolates tested. The methods correctly identified 85% and 98% of the clinically importantSalmonellaserovars Enteritidis and Typhimurium, respectively. The methods correctly identified 75% to 100% of the nontyphoidal, broad host rangeSalmonellaserovars, including Heidelberg, Hadar, Infantis, Kentucky, Montevideo, Newport, and Virchow. The sensitivity and specificity ofSalmonellaserovars Typhimurium and Enteritidis ranged from 85% to 100% and 99% to 100%, respectively.It is anticipated that whole-genome sequencing will replace serotyping in public health laboratories in the future. However, at present, it is approximately three times more expensive than molecular methods. Until consistent standards and methodologies are deployed for whole-genome sequencing, data analysis and interlaboratory comparability remain a challenge. The use of molecular serotyping will provide a valuable high-throughput alternative to traditional serotyping. This comprehensive analysis provides a detailed comparison of commercial kits available for the molecular serotyping ofSalmonella.

Background: The revolution in next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology has allowed easy access and sharing of high-throughput sequencing datasets of cancer cell lines and their integrative analyses. However, long-term passaging and culture conditions introduce high levels of genomic and phenotypic diversity in established cell lines resulting in strain differences. Thus, clonal variation in cultured cell lines with respect to the reference standard is a major barrier in systems biology data analyses. Therefore, there is a pressing need for a fast and entry-level assessment of clonal variations within cell lines using their high-throughput sequencing data. Results: We developed a Python-based software, AStra, for de novo estimation of the genome-wide segmental aneuploidy to measure and visually interpret strain-level similarities or differences of cancer cell lines from whole-genome sequencing (WGS). We demonstrated that aneuploidy spectrum can capture the genetic variations in 27 strains of MCF7 breast cancer cell line collected from different laboratories. Performance evaluation of AStra using several cancer sequencing datasets revealed that cancer cell lines exhibit distinct aneuploidy spectra which reflect their previously-reported karyotypic observations. Similarly, AStra successfully identified large-scale DNA copy number variations (CNVs) artificially introduced in simulated WGS datasets. Conclusions: AStra provides an analytical and visualization platform for rapid and easy comparison between different strains or between cell lines based on their aneuploidy spectra solely using the raw BAM files representing mapped reads. We recommend AStra for rapid first-pass quality assessment of cancer cell lines before integrating scientific datasets that employ deep sequencing. AStra is an open-source software and is available at https://github.com/AISKhalil/AStra .
