Abstract
Long Mate Pair Library Construction Protocol
For the Tagmentation reactions Amount3 µg and Amount3 µg of Genomic DNA was prepared in Amount308 µL and then Amount80 µL 5x Tagment Buffer Mate Pair (Illumina) added followed by Amount12 µL Mate Pair Tagmentation Enzyme (Illumina) and the reaction gently vortexed to mix.

This was then incubated for Duration00:30:00 at Temperature55 °C , 100μl of Neutralize Tagment Buffer (Illumina) added and then incubated at TemperatureRoom temperature for Duration00:05:00 .

A 1x volume bead clean-up was performed with CleanPCR beads and the DNA eluted in Amount165 µL of Nuclease free Water .

A Amount1 µL aliquot was run on a BioAnalyser 1200 chip and DNA concentration determined using a Qubit HS Assay.

Strand Displacement was performed by combining Amount162 µL of tagmented DNA, Amount20 µL 10x Strand Displacement Buffer (Illumina), Amount8 µL dNTPs (Illumina) and Amount10 µL Strand Displacement Polymerase (Illumina).

This was then incubated at TemperatureRoom temperature for Duration00:30:00 .

A 0.75x volume bead clean-up was performed with CleanPCR beads and the DNA eluted in Amount16 µL of Nuclease free Water and the eluted DNA from the Amount3 µg and Amount3 µg reactions pooled.

A Amount1 µL aliquot was diluted 1:6 and run on a BioAnalyser 1200 chip and DNA concentration determined using a Qubit HS Assay.

Size selection was performed on a Sage Science ELF (Sage Science, Beverly, USA). The Amount30 µL in each of collection wells was replaced with fresh buffer and the collection and elution current checked prior to loading the sample. To Amount30 µL of the pooled Strand Displaced reaction Amount10 µL of loading solution was added and then loaded onto a 0.75% Cassette which was configured to separate the sample for Duration03:30:00 and then each fraction eluted for Duration00:35:00 .

Post size selection, the Amount30 µL from each of the 12 collection wells was recovered and the DNA concentration determined using a Qubit HS Assay.

Circularisation was performed by combining Amount30 µL of size fractionated DNA, Amount12.5 µL of 10x circularisation buffer (Illumina), Amount3 µL Circularisation Enzyme (Illumina) and Amount85 µL nuclease free water.

These were then incubated at Temperature30 °C overnight. Linear DNA was digested by adding Amount3.75 µL Exonuclease (Illumina) and incubation at Temperature37 °C for Duration00:30:00 was followed by Temperature70 °C for Duration00:30:00 to denature the enzyme and Amount5 µL of stop ligation (Illumina) added.

During exonuclease treatment Amount240 µL of M280 Dynabeads (Thermo Fisher) were prepared by washing twice with Amount600 µL Bead Bind Buffer (Illumina) before resuspending in Amount1560 µL Bead Bind Buffer.

Circularised DNA was then sheared in a Amount130 µL volume on a Covaris S2 for 2 cycles of Duration00:00:37 with a duty cycle of 10%, cycles per burst of 200 and intensity of 4.

To Amount130 µL fragmented DNA Amount130 µL of washed M280 beads was added, mixed and then placed on a lab rotator at TemperatureRoom temperature for Duration00:20:00 .

Library molecules bound to M280 beads were then washed four times with Amount200 µL Bead Washer Buffer (Illumina) and twice with Amount200 µL Resuspension Buffer (Illumina).

A master mix containing Amount1105 µL nuclease free water, Amount130 µL 10x End Repair Reaction Buffer (NEB, Hitchin, UK) and Amount65 µL end repair enzyme mix (NEB) was prepared and Amount100 µL added to each tube, mixed with the beads and incubated at TemperatureRoom temperature for Duration00:30:00 .

End repaired library molecules bound to M280 beads were then washed four times with Amount200 µL Bead Washer Buffer and twice using Amount200 µL Resuspension Buffer.

A master mix containing Amount325 µL nuclease free water, Amount39 µL A Tailing 10x Reaction Buffer (NEB) and Amount26 µL A tailing enzyme mix (NEB) was prepared and Amount30 µL added to each tube, mixed with the beads and incubated at Temperature37 °C for Duration00:30:00 .

To the A tailed library molecules Amount1 µL of the appropriate Illumina Index adapter (Illumina) was added and mixed then Amount31 µL of Blunt/ TA ligase (NEB) added and incubated at TemperatureRoom temperature for Duration00:10:00 .

Post incubation Amount5 µL of stop ligation added and then the adapter ligated library molecules bound to M280 beads were then washed four times with Amount200 µL Bead Washer Buffer and twice with Amount200 µL Resuspension Buffer.

A master mix containing Amount240 µL nuclease free water, Amount300 µL 2x Kappa HiFi (Kappa Biosystems) and Amount60 µL Illumina Primer Cocktail (Illumina) was prepared and Amount50 µL added to each tube, mixed with the beads and the contents, including beads, transferred to a Amount200 µL PCR tube.

Each sample was then subjected to amplification on a Veriti Thermal Cycler (Thermo Fisher) with the following conditions: Temperature98 °C for Duration00:03:00 , 8, 10 or 12 cycles of PCR depending upon copy number entering circularisation of Temperature98 °C for Duration00:00:10 , Temperature60 °C for Duration00:00:30 , Temperature72 °C for Duration00:00:30 followed by Temperature72 °C for Duration00:05:00 and Hold at Temperature4 °C .

Post amplification the PCR tubes were placed on a magnetic plate, the beads allowed to pellet and then Amount45 µL of the PCR transferred to a Amount2 mL Lobind Eppendorf Tube. To this Amount31.5 µL beads of CleanPCR beads were added to precipitate the DNA, the beads washed twice with 70% ethanol and the final library eluted in Amount20 µL resuspension buffer.

Library QC was performed by running a Amount1 µL aliquot on a High Sensitivity BioAnalyser chip and the DNA concentration measured using the High Sensitivity Qubit.

Libraries to be sequence were then pooled based on DNA concentration and the quantification of the pool was determined by the Kappa qPCR Illumina quantification kit with the pool run at 10pM on a HiSeq with a 2x250bp reads read metric.
Reads generated were then processed through NextClip which takes LMP FASTA reads and looks to categorise them into four groups based on the presence of the Nextera adapter junction sequence. Category A pairs contain the adaptor in both reads, Category B pairs contain the adaptor in only read 2, Category C pairs contain the adaptor in only read 1, Category D pairs do not contain the adaptor in either read. NextClip also uses a k-mer-based approach to estimate the PCR duplication rate while reads are examined.
