概述的方法能够健壮，通用，快速排序，并用于2014年爆发期间2,4测序埃博拉病毒。通过偶合选择性消耗和cDNA合成用tagmentation文库构建，整个过程的时间是通过从前面的适配器连接方法〜2天缩短。最近，该协议受雇于国际合作者和其他人取得了巨大成功和15,16将被部署到西非的实验室，以支持当地基于基因组学研究的研究和诊断17。 这里所描述的协议使用随机引物来制备cDNA为病毒RNA-SEQ库。不同于以往的病毒RNA-SEQ方法，它不需要序列数据或复杂和费时的引物设计为特定的病毒或分化体的先验知识。该方法可以适用于任何病毒RNA样品。例如，它被用来产生从两个埃博拉病毒内容和拉沙样品6。该协议也可以被用于主机转录，宏基因组和病原体发现测序项目1。 该协议的一个关键步骤是针对核糖核酸酶H消化，高通量，从病毒样本去除多余的载体和宿主RNA低成本的方法。该协议的选择性耗尽步骤使用了许多部件，并需要技巧性和准确性。额外的时间和精力应该在初始设置期间服用。 因为大多数临床血清和血浆样品通常具有非常少的核酸材料，污染和样品损失是常见的。为了避免这些问题，应特别注意使用此协议时作出。首先，RNA是非常容易退化;因此，所有的区域应清洁，无核酸酶。第二，以确定适用于该协议使用的样品，应该用于定量5,6-两种宿主RNA和病毒定量RT-PCR测定</suP&gt;。当从协议测序结果测序成功比较输入量（ 即，代全病毒装配足够的数据）与含有至少100pg的总RNA和病毒的1000份样本相关。应避免第三，暴露于核酸环境来源。这里列出的协议是在安全防范生物安全柜和限制环境污染物进行。此外，我们的组和其他已经注意到商业酶可以是低输入样本6,18在污染细菌的核酸的另一个来源。用干净的工作空间（ 如 PCR罩，生物安全柜）和阴性对照（ 例如 ，水或缓冲液）将有助于减轻分别和跟踪污染。用于与样品&lt;100pg的总RNA，只聚（RA）载体RNA，不rRNA基因，应该被耗尽，以确保高质量的测序结果，同时限制材料的损失。对于非常低输入样本，cDNA的扩增方法可以是更合适的19，虽然聚（RA）载体应之前的cDNA合成中除去。 主机的rRNA的耗尽丰富在测序文库的病毒含量，并适用于不同的样本的集合，包括血清或血浆，和多种类型的来自啮齿类和非人灵长类5,6-组织。在非人类生物，读取对准28S rRNA的仍然耗尽后，提示28S rRNA的是人类和其它物种6,20之间不太保守。当使用这种方法与非人类分离，它可能有必要对特定的主机3,21的发散rRNA序列互补的DNA寡核苷酸来补充。 由于该协议是公正的，病毒会读取仅代表总库内容的一小部分。虽然rRNA基因是宿主RNA品种最丰富，仅rRNA基因的一小部分读取（0; 1％）被发现选择性耗尽之后，所有其它宿主RNA（ 例如 ，mRNA）的仍将耗尽后及可能占许多测序从样品中读取。因此，"过采样"（ 即 oversequencing）单个图书馆需要，以有足够的覆盖面为病毒组装和变异电话。对于我们的研究中，我们试图序列每个样品〜20000000读取具有用于病毒基因组和相关的变异体的分析深度不够以及宏基因组内容2,5。对于宏基因组和病原体发现研究中，要注意的是污染宿主DNA通过DNA酶消化除去是很重要的。因此，包含的DNA基因组的病毒和其他病原体的过程中会丢失，但是RNA中间体可以仍然进行测序。

从临床来源的病毒的新一代测序可以通知传播和感染的流行病学，以及帮助支持新的诊断，疫苗和治疗的发展。使用随机引物合成cDNA已经允许从发散的，共同的侵染的基因组或甚至新的病毒1,2的检测和组装。与其他方式偏见，有害的污染物，会占用大量的测序读取和测序结果产生负面影响。主机和聚（RA）的载体RNA存在于许多现有的病毒样品收集污染物。 该协议描述了基于偏总RNA-SEQ深度测序RNA病毒基因组的高效率和成本效益的方法。该方法利用一种核糖核酸酶H选择性枯竭步骤3，删除不需要的主机核糖体和载体RNA。选择性耗竭丰富了病毒内容（ 图1），提高了测序数据的整体质量（ 图2）从临床样品。此外，tagmentation被应用到，因为它显著降低了图书馆的建设时间的协议。这些方法已被用于快速产生埃博拉病毒和拉沙病毒基因组2,4,5的大型数据集，并且可以用于研究广泛的RNA病毒。最后，该方法不限于人类样品;选择性消耗的效用已证明来自拉沙感染啮齿动物和非人类灵长类动物疾病模型5,6-收集组织样品。 <img alt="图1" src="/files/ftp_upload/54117/54117fig1.jpg" /> 图1.总RNA内容反映拉沙病毒含量采用选择性枯竭的富集。从九个不同的临床分离后，开始枯竭rRNA的整体内容（RNA输入）和独特的拉沙病毒（LASV）富集读取（库内容）。这个数字已经从6修改<em&gt; <a href="https://jove.unicartagenaproxy.elogim.com/files/ftp_upload/54117/54117fig1large.jpg" target="_blank">点击此处查看该图的放大版本。</a> <img alt="图2" src="/files/ftp_upload/54117/54117fig2.jpg" /> 图2.更高质量测序后载体的RNA耗尽。每聚测序循环（RA）中值碱品质-contaminated拉沙病毒库（红色），并从质量控制报告13对照（无载体库观察，黑色）。双方念1，阅读配对末端的2读取合并库中的BAM文件，并在每个基地的质量分数表示。这个数字已经从6修改。 <a href="https://jove.unicartagenaproxy.elogim.com/files/ftp_upload/54117/54117fig2large.jpg" target="_blank">请点击此处查看本图的放大版本。</a> 病毒RNA-SEQ协议的细节建设库直接从提取从临床和生物样品收集的RNA。为了确保人身安全，所有病毒血清，血浆和组织样品应前RNA提取适当的缓冲灭活。在有些失活和提取试剂盒，载体聚（RA）的RNA包括在内;这将在最初的RNA酶H选择性消耗步骤中除去。基于完全恢复，载体RNA的预期浓度为100纳克/微升。在协议中，110纳克/微升寡聚dT的RNA（1.1倍载流子浓度）用于耗竭。如果聚（RA）的载体是不存在于样品中，那么寡（dT）不应之前耗尽加入。 以下协议被设计用于PCR板格式24反应（高达250微升体积）。该协议的早期版本据报道，Matranga 等。6。

unbiased deep sequencing of rna viruses from clinical samples

在这里，我们勾勒出下一代RNA测序协议，使从头组件和从临床和生物学来源收集的病毒基因组的帧内主机变种呼叫。该方法是无偏的和普遍的;它采用cDNA合成随机引物，并且需要病毒序列内容的先验知识。图书馆建设之前，选择基于H-RNA酶消化来消耗多余的RNA - 包括聚（RA）载体和核糖体RNA - 从病毒RNA样品。选择性耗尽同时提高数据质量和独特的数目在病毒RNA测序文库的读取。此外，基于转座-&#39;tagmentation&#39;步骤在协议中使用，因为它减少总库施工时间。该协议使快速深度测序超过600拉沙和埃博拉病毒样本，包括来自血液和组织分离，并广泛适用于其它微生物基因组学研究的集合。

所描述的协议使高品质的测序的产生，同时丰富独特的病毒含量低输入病毒RNA样品读取。正如图1所示，该协议富集独特拉沙病毒含量至少与18S rRNA基因（约100皮克总RNA）中的至少一百万份的五倍所有样品（相对于非耗尽控制）。同样地，测序的成功还与给定样品中病毒的量相关。使用定量RT-PCR，作为病毒的数量的替代，包含〜最多创建的完整组件1000以上病毒基因组拷贝的样品（未示出数据）。此外，聚（RA）载体的耗竭减少了A和T的均聚物序列文库，导致清洁制剂，确保更好的质量测序读取（ 图2）。从低输入病毒的临床标本库，最终往往具有广阔的片段长度为150至1000基点（ 图3）。 测序后，减少池12内图书馆之间的样品误认和串扰，只指数与基质量分数25（Q25）的读取，并确保零错配在解复用过程中保存。病毒基因组均使用特定的发散病毒2,4-6生物信息学管道装配。这些工具可在https://github.com/broadinstitute/viral-ngs或通过商业云平台4。 <table border="1" fo:keep-with-next.within-page="always"><tbody><tr><td> 步骤1.1:DNA酶反应 </td><td></td></tr><tr><td>试剂</td><td>每反应体积（微升） </td></tr><tr><td> 10X DNA酶缓冲</td><td> 7 </td></tr><tr><td>不含核酸酶的水</td><td> 6 </td></tr><tr><td>提取病毒RNA </td><td> 55 </td></tr><tr><td> DNA酶（2U /＆＃181;

Using a Pan-Viral Microarray Assay (Virochip) to Screen Clinical Samples for Viral Pathogens

The diagnosis of viral causes of many infectious diseases is difficult due to the inherent sequence diversity of viruses as well as the ongoing emergence of novel viral pathogens, such as SARS coronavirus and 2009 pandemic H1N1 influenza virus, that are not detectable by traditional methods. To address these challenges, we have previously developed and validated a pan-viral microarray platform called the Virochip with the capacity to detect all known viruses as well as novel variants on the basis of conserved sequence homology1. Using the Virochip, we have identified the full spectrum of viruses associated with respiratory infections, including cases of unexplained critical illness in hospitalized patients, with a sensitivity equivalent to or superior to conventional clinical testing2-5. The Virochip has also been used to identify novel viruses, including the SARS coronavirus6,7, a novel rhinovirus clade5, XMRV (a retrovirus linked to prostate cancer)8, avian bornavirus (the cause of a wasting disease in parrots)9, and a novel cardiovirus in children with respiratory and diarrheal illness10. The current version of the Virochip has been ported to an Agilent microarray platform and consists of ~36,000 probes derived from over ~1,500 viruses in GenBank as of December of 2009. Here we demonstrate the steps involved in processing a Virochip assay from start to finish (~24 hour turnaround time), including sample nucleic acid extraction, PCR amplification using random primers, fluorescent dye incorporation, and microarray hybridization, scanning, and analysis.

Using a Pan-Viral Microarray Assay Virochip to Screen Clinical Samples for Viral Pathogens

Amplifying and Quantifying HIV-1 RNA in HIV Infected Individuals with Viral Loads Below the Limit of Detection by Standard Clinical Assays

Amplifying viral genes and quantifying HIV-1 RNA in HIV-1 infected individuals with viral loads below the limit of detection by standard assays (below 50-75 copies/ml) is necessary to gain insight to viral dynamics and virus host interactions in patients who naturally control the infection and those who are on combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). 
Here we describe how to amplify viral genomes by single genome sequencing (the SGS protocol) 13, 19 and how to accurately quantify HIV-1 RNA in patients with low viral loads (the single-copy assay (SCA) protocol) 12, 20. 
The single-copy assay is a real-time PCR assay with sensitivity depending on the volume of plasma being assayed. If a single virus genome is detected in 7 ml of plasma, then the RNA copy number is reported to be 0.3 copies/ml. The assay has an internal control testing for the efficiency of RNA extraction, and controls for possible amplification from DNA or contamination. Patient samples are measured in triplicate.
The single-genome sequencing assay (SGS), now widely used and considered to be non-labor intensive 3, 7, 12, 14, 15,is a limiting dilution assay, in which endpoint diluted cDNA product is spread over a 96-well plate. According to a Poisson distribution, when less than 1/3 of the wells give product, there is an 80% chance of the PCR product being resultant of amplification from a single cDNA molecule. SGS has the advantage over cloning of not being subjected to resampling and not being biased by PCR-introduced recombination 19. However, the amplification success of SCA and SGS depend on primer design. Both assays were developed for HIV-1 subtype B, but can be adapted for other subtypes and other regions of the genome by changing primers, probes, and standards.

Quantifying levels of HIV-1 RNA in plasma and sequencing single HIV-1 genomes from individuals with viral loads below the limit of detection (50-75 copies/ml) is difficult. Here we describe how to extract and quantify plasma viral RNA using a real time PCR assay that reliably measures HIV-1 RNA down to 0.3 copies/ml and how to amplify viral genomes by single genome sequencing, from samples with very low viral loads.

High-throughput, Automated Extraction of DNA and RNA from Clinical Samples using TruTip Technology on Common Liquid Handling Robots

TruTip is a simple nucleic acid extraction technology whereby a porous, monolithic binding matrix is inserted into a pipette tip. The geometry of the monolith can be adapted for specific pipette tips ranging in volume from 1.0 to 5.0 ml. The large porosity of the monolith enables viscous or complex samples to readily pass through it with minimal fluidic backpressure. Bi-directional flow maximizes residence time between the monolith and sample, and enables large sample volumes to be processed within a single TruTip. The fundamental steps, irrespective of sample volume or TruTip geometry, include cell lysis, nucleic acid binding to the inner pores of the TruTip monolith, washing away unbound sample components and lysis buffers, and eluting purified and concentrated nucleic acids into an appropriate buffer. The attributes and adaptability of TruTip are demonstrated in three automated clinical sample processing protocols using an Eppendorf epMotion 5070, Hamilton STAR and STARplus liquid handling robots, including RNA isolation from nasopharyngeal aspirate, genomic DNA isolation from whole blood, and fetal DNA extraction and enrichment from large volumes of maternal plasma (respectively).

TruTip is a simple nucleic acid extraction technology whereby a porous, monolithic binding matrix is inserted into a pipette tip. Consequently, the sample preparation format is compatible with most liquid handling instruments, and can be used for many medium to high-throughput clinical applications and sample types.

Sequencing of mRNA from Whole Blood using Nanopore Sequencing

Sequencing in remote locations and resource-poor settings presents unique challenges. Nanopore sequencing can be successfully used under such conditions, and was deployed to West Africa during the recent Ebola virus epidemic, highlighting this possibility. In addition to its practical advantages (low cost, ease of equipment transport and use), this technology also provides fundamental advantages over second-generation sequencing approaches, particularly the very long read length, ability to directly sequence RNA, and real-time availability of data. Raw read accuracy is lower than with other sequencing platforms, which represents the main limitation of this technology; however, this can be partially mitigated by the high read depth generated. Here, we present a field-compatible protocol for sequencing of the mRNAs encoding for Niemann-Pick C1, which is the cellular receptor for ebolaviruses. This protocol encompasses extraction of RNA from animal blood samples, followed by RT-PCR for target enrichment, barcoding, library preparation, and the sequencing run itself, and can be easily adapted for use with other DNA or RNA targets.

Nanopore sequencing is a novel technology that allows cost-effective sequencing in remote locations and resource-poor settings. Here, we present a protocol for sequencing of mRNAs from whole blood that is compatible with such conditions.

Validating Whole Genome Nanopore Sequencing, using Usutu Virus as an Example

Whole genome sequencing can be used to characterize and to trace viral outbreaks. Nanopore-based whole genome sequencing protocols have been described for several different viruses. These approaches utilize an overlapping amplicon-based approach which can be used to target a specific virus or group of genetically related viruses. In addition to confirmation of the virus presence, sequencing can be used for genomic epidemiology studies, to track viruses and unravel origins, reservoirs and modes of transmission. For such applications, it is crucial to understand possible effects of the error rate associated with the platform used. Routine application in clinical and public health settings require that this is documented with every important change in the protocol. Previously, a protocol for whole genome Usutu virus sequencing on the nanopore sequencing platform was validated (R9.4 flowcell) by direct comparison to Illumina sequencing. Here, we describe the method used to determine the required read coverage, using the comparison between the R10 flow cell and Illumina sequencing as an example.

We previously validated a protocol for amplicon-based whole genome Usutu virus (USUV) sequencing on a nanopore sequencing platform. Here, we describe the methods used in more detail and determine the error rate of the nanopore R10 flow cell.

Quantification and Whole Genome Characterization of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in Wastewater and Air Samples

Wastewater-based epidemiology has emerged as a promising and efficacious surveillance system for SARS-CoV-2 and other infectious diseases in many nations. The process typically involves wastewater concentration, nucleic acid extraction, amplification of selected genomic segments, and detection and quantification of the amplified genomic segment. This methodology can similarly be leveraged to detect and quantify infectious agents, such as SARS-CoV-2, in air samples. Initially, SARS-CoV-2 was presumed to spread primarily through close personal contact with droplets generated by an infected individual while speaking, sneezing, coughing, singing, or breathing. However, a growing number of studies have reported the presence of SARS-CoV-2 RNA in the air of healthcare facilities, establishing airborne transmission as a viable route for the virus. This study presents a composite of established protocols to facilitate environmental detection, quantification, and sequencing of viruses from both wastewater and air samples.

This protocol aims to quantify SARS-CoV-2 RNA in wastewater and air samples to be used for wastewater-based epidemiology studies and to assess the exposure risk to SARS-CoV-2 in indoor and outdoor aerosols. This protocol also describes a tiled amplicon long-template sequencing approach for SARS-CoV-2 whole genome characterization.

AQRNA-seq for Quantifying Small RNAs

AQRNA-seq provides a direct linear relationship between sequencing read counts and small RNA copy numbers in a biological sample, thus enabling accurate quantification of the pool of small RNAs. The AQRNA-seq library preparation procedure described here involves the use of custom-designed sequencing linkers and a step for reducing methylation RNA modifications that block reverse transcription processivity, which results in an increased yield of full-length cDNAs. In addition, a detailed implementation of the accompanying bioinformatics pipeline is presented. This demonstration of AQRNA-seq was conducted through a quantitative analysis of the 45 tRNAs in Mycobacterium bovis BCG harvested on 5 selected days across a 20-day time course of nutrient deprivation and 6 days of resuscitation. Ongoing efforts to improve the efficiency and rigor of AQRNA-seq will also be discussed here. This includes exploring methods to obviate gel purification for mitigating primer dimer issues after PCR amplification and to increase the proportion of full-length reads to enable more accurate read mapping. Future enhancements to AQRNA-seq will be focused on facilitating automation and high-throughput implementation of this technology for quantifying all small RNA species in cell and tissue samples from diverse organisms.

High-throughput Detection of Respiratory Pathogens in Animal Specimens by Nanoscale PCR

Nanoliter scale real-time PCR uses spatial multiplexing to allow multiple assays to be run in parallel on a single plate without the typical drawbacks of combining reactions together. We designed and evaluated a panel based on this principle to rapidly identify the presence of common disease agents in dogs and horses with acute respiratory illness. This manuscript describes a nanoscale diagnostic PCR workflow for sample preparation, amplification, and analysis of target pathogen sequences, focusing on procedures that are different from microliter scale reactions. In the respiratory panel presented, 18 assays were each set up in triplicate, accommodating up to 48 samples per plate. A universal extraction and pre-amplification workflow was optimized for high-throughput sample preparation to accommodate multiple matrices and DNA and RNA based pathogens. Representative data are presented for one RNA target (influenza A matrix) and one DNA target (equine herpesvirus 1). The ability to quickly and accurately test for a comprehensive, syndrome-based group of pathogens is a valuable tool for improving efficiency and ergonomics of diagnostic testing and for acute respiratory disease diagnosis and management.

High-throughput testing of DNA and RNA based pathogens by nanoscale PCR is described using a syndromic canine and equine respiratory PCR panel.
