Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to methods and kits for nucleic acid sample preparation, particularly for consistent and reproducible nucleic acid sequencing.
- sample preparation products are generally shipped with significant quantities of dry ice (up to 50 lbs) to ensure that the reagents remain active upon receipt at the sequencing facility.
- Most of the enzymes required for sample preparation for next generation sequencing platforms are derived from mesophilic sources which are more sensitive to broad temperature fluctuations that may be observed during shipping. Even thermophilic sources, although they are more stable to temperature ranges, exhibit residual activities that may cause side reactions during shipping that negatively impact product quality upon receipt by the end user.
- an object of this disclosure is to develop improved reagents for next generation sequencing library construction.
- the invention provides methods and kits for library construction, which employ at least one lyophilized reaction mixture.
- the process of lyophilization yields a product that is inactive at room temperature until rehydrated with water.
- the enzymes become essentially immobilized and thus are stable to conditions that would previously have caused significant decrease in enzyme activity.
- Such a formulation upon lyophilization, yields a sequencing sample preparation kit that can be shipped under ambient conditions, negating the need for dry or wet ice-containing shipping.
- the invention provides for several advantages, including others that will be apparent from the following detailed disclosure.
- First, the invention enables simplified shipping that doesn't require coolants.
- the reaction components and kits described herein can be shipped worldwide at room temperature with the simplest of infrastructure. Storage of the products are simplified and the cost and complexity of freezer validation for clinic applications is eliminated.
- the invention provides enzyme products that are easier to use because the number of pipetting steps required for sample preparation is decreased by up to 30% compared to existing liquid based methods. Decreasing the number of pipetting steps also reduces the possibility of cross contamination.
- Third, the invention provides improved consistency across a microtiter plate or a broad number of samples due to consistent reagent dosing.
- the invention provides consistent performance because each reaction can be single use in the lyophilized format. This prevents multiple rounds of freeze thawing of stock liquid solutions (typically stored at ⁇ 20° C.) Which if done incorrectly can yield non-homogenous thawing of the product and thus variation in efficiencies of each step in the sample preparation workflow. Stock liquid solutions also increase the probability of cross contamination.
- the product according to the embodiments of the invention is room temperature stable and thus doesn't have to be thawed prior to use. Overcoming the need to thaw the solutions shortens sample prep time and will yield more consistent results.

- This Application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/721,843, filed Nov. 2, 2012, which is heerebv incorporated by reference in its entirety
- The present disclosure relates to methods and kits for nucleic acid sample preparation, particularly for consistent and reproducible nucleic acid sequencing.
- For nucleic acid sequencing, high throughput sample preparation products are generally shipped with significant quantities of dry ice (up to 50 lbs) to ensure that the reagents remain active upon receipt at the sequencing facility. Most of the enzymes required for sample preparation for next generation sequencing platforms are derived from mesophilic sources which are more sensitive to broad temperature fluctuations that may be observed during shipping. Even thermophilic sources, although they are more stable to temperature ranges, exhibit residual activities that may cause side reactions during shipping that negatively impact product quality upon receipt by the end user.
- There is an unmet need for methods and reagents for high throughput sample preparation fix next generation sequencers that are room temperature stable and which provide consistent and reproducible results.
- An object of this disclosure is to develop improved reagents for next generation sequencing library construction, In the various aspects, the invention provides methods and kits for library construction, which employ at least one lyophilized reaction mixture. The process of lyophilization yields a product that is inactive at room temperature until rehydrated with water. As a result of lyophilization the enzymes become essentially immobilized and thus are stable to conditions that would previously have caused significant decrease in enzyme activity. Such a formulation, upon lyophilization, yields a sequencing sample preparation kit that can be shipped under ambient conditions, negating the need for dry or wet ice-containing shipping.
- In various embodiments, the invention provides for several advantages, including others that will be apparent from the following detailed disclosure. First, the invention enables simplified shipping that doesn't require coolants. Thus the reaction components and kits described herein can be shipped worldwide at room temperature with the simplest of infrastructure. Storage of the products are simplified and the cost and complexity of freezer validation for clinic applications is eliminated. Second, the invention provides enzyme products that are easier to use because the number of pipetting steps required for sample preparation is decreased by up to 30% compared to existing liquid based methods. Decreasing the number of pipetting steps also reduces the possibility of cross contamination. Third, the invention provides improved consistency across a microtiter plate or a broad number of samples due to consistent reagent dosing. Fourth, the invention provides consistent performance because each reaction can be single use in the lyophilized format. This prevents multiple rounds of freeze thawing of stock liquid solutions (typically stored at −20° C.) Which if done incorrectly can yield non-homogenous thawing of the product and thus variation in efficiencies of each step in the sample preparation workflow. Stock liquid solutions also increase the probability of cross contamination. The product according to the embodiments of the invention is room temperature stable and thus doesn't have to be thawed prior to use. Overcoming the need to thaw the solutions shortens sample prep time and will yield more consistent results.

- The third reaction mixture comprises enzyme and reagents for DNA adaptor ligation, such as a DNA ligase. In various embodiments, the third reaction mixture is rehydrated from lyophilized form. The lyophilized form may be one or more lyophilized pellets. The lyophilized form comprises T4 DNA ligase, a source of magnesium, ATP, and a buffer. For example, the T4 DNA ligase may be present at from 1 Unit to about 3,000 Units. The source of magnesium (e.g., MgCl2) may be present at from about 2 mM to about 20 mM (e.g., 10 mM). ATP may be present at from about 0.1 to about 5 mM (e.g., about 1 mM), Other components such as DTT (e.g., about 1 mM), polyethylene glycol, and a suitable buffer (e.g., TRIS-HCl and pH of from about 7.0 to about 8.0, such as about 7.6) may also be provided. In some embodiments, DNA adaptors are included in the lyophilized form. In some embodiments, DNA adaptors are added with the reaction volume.
- The rehydrated reaction mixture for the third reaction may be from about 25 μl to about 200 μl, but in some embodiments is about 50 μl to about 100 μl in volume. Where the lyophilized form is a pellet, the pellet may have a diameter of from about 0.3 cm to about 1.0 cm. Such sizes can be obtained by lyophilizing volumes approximately 15 μl to approximately 300 μl.
- The lyophilized third reaction mixture may be provided in a sealed single use reaction tube. Upon use, water optionally comprising DNA adaptors (where not provided with the reaction components) is added in the desired reaction volume (as described) to the single use reaction tube. The lyophilized reagents are thus suspended in the reaction volume to create a reproducible and consistently performing 1×0 ligation reaction. Incubation times are not critical, but can be, for example, about 15 minutes at room temperature. The ligated DNA can be purified by standard protocols.
- In various embodiments, at least two of the first reaction mixture, the second reaction mixture, and the third reaction mixture are rehydrated from lyophilized form. In certain embodiments, each of the first reaction mixture, the second reaction mixture, and the third reaction mixture are rehydrated from lyophilized form.
- The enzymes employed in the first, second, and third reaction mixtures, may optionally have one or more amino acid modifications with respect to commercially available enzymes (e.g., as available from Enzymatics, New England BioLabs, Inc., or Life Technologies), These modifications can provide various advantages regarding enhancing activity, reducing undesirable side reactions, stability, accuracy, etc. Generally, each enzyme may have from 1 to 20 amino acid modifications selected from (collectively) insertions, deletions, substitutions, truncations, or additions with respect to known or commercially available enzymes. For example, one or more of the T4 DNA polymerase, T4 polynucleotide kinase, klenow (3′→5′ exo-), and T4 DNA ligase may have from 1 to 20 amino acid modifications selected from (collectively) insertions, deletions, substitutions, truncations, or additions, such as from 1 to 15, 1 to 10, or 1 to 5 of such modifications in various embodiments.
- In a second aspect, the invention provides a kit for DNA library construction. The kit comprises a reaction tube containing first reaction components for end repair of DNA fragments (the DNA fragment need not be included among the first reaction components); a reaction tube containing second reaction components for A-tailing of end-repaired DNA fragments; and a reaction tube containing third reaction components for ligating DNA adaptors to A-tailed DNA. One, two, or each of the first reaction components, the second reaction components, and the third reaction components are in lyophilized form. The lyophilized form (e.g., lyophilized pellet) for the first reaction mixture can comprise a DNA polymerase (e.g., T4 DNA polymerase), a DNA polynucleotide kinase (e.g., T4 DNA polynucleotide kinase), deoxynucleotide triphosphates, a source of magnesium, ATP and a buffer. For example, the lyophilized form may contain from 0.5 to 20 Units of T4 DNA polymerase and 0.5 to 50 Units of T4 polynucleotide kinase. The dNTPS, when rehydrated at the reaction volume as described), may be at a concentration of from about 0.1 mM to about 5 mM, such as about 0.2 mM to 0.6 mM, or about 0.4 mM. The source of magnesium can be MgCl2 at from about 2 mM to about 20 mM, such as about 10 mM. Any appropriate buffering agent may be included, such as TRIS-HCl in some embodiments, and should provide for a pH of about 7.0 to 8.0, such as about 7.5. Other reaction components such as ATP (e.g., 0.5 to 5 mM), DTI (about 1 mM), KCl (about 1 to 20 mM), and detergents (e.g., Triton X-100) may also be included in the first reaction mixture.
- The second reaction mixture comprises a 3′→5′ exo-polymerase (e.g., Klenow), a source of magnesium, a source of sodium, dATP, and a buffer. Klenow can be present at from about 1 to 20 Units, and can be present at from 5 to 15 Units in various embodiments. The source of magnesium (e.g., MgCl2) when rehydrated at the reaction volume (as described) may be present at from about 2 to about 25 mM (e.g., about 10 mM), and the source of sodium (e.g., NaCl) may be present at from about 25 mM to about 100 mM (e.g., 50 mM). Other components such as ATP (e.g., at from 0.1 mM to 1 mM), DTT (about 1 mM) may be included in the second reaction mixture. A suitable buffer such as TRIS-HCl should be included for a pH of about 7.0 to 8.5 (e.g., 7.9) when rehydrated.
- The third reaction mixture comprises enzyme and reagents for DNA adaptor ligation. The lyophilized form comprises a DNA ligase (e.g., T4 DNA ligase), a source of magnesium, ATP, and a buffer. For example, the T4 DNA ligase may be present at from 1 Unit to about 3,000 Units. The source of magnesium (e.g., MgCl2) when rehydrated at the reaction volume (as described) may be present at from about 2 mM to about 20 mM (e.g., 10 mM). ATP may be present at from about 0.1 to about 5 mM (e.g., about 1 mM). Other components such as DTT (e.g., about 1 mM), polyethylene glycol, and a suitable buffer (e.g., TRIS-HCl providing for a pH of from about 7.0 to about 8.0, such as about 7.6) may also be provided. In some embodiments, DNA adaptors are included in the lyophilized form. In some embodiments, DNA adaptors are added with the reaction volume.

FIG. 1 shows that T4 polynucleotide kinase successfully reactivates from its lyophilized format. - Three lyophilized pellet formulations of T4 polynucleotide kinase were treated in foil packs at 50° C. for 2 weeks. The assay measured radiolabeled γ-32P ATP incorporation into poly dT substrate, Activities of all three lyophilized pellet formulations track with a liquid formation stored at −20° C. Two weeks at 50° C. is equal to about 3 months at room temperature.
-
FIG. 2 shows the results of an A-tailing formulation (comprising Klenow Fragment exo-)). DNA was treated with End Repair, and various amounts of Klenow (3′→5′ exo-), followed by ligation. Library fragments lacking a 3′ A from Klenow (Exo-) are expected to undergo blunt ended ligation. Input of Klenow from 15 Units to 1.9 Units has little effect on the A-Tailing step. - These data show that the lyophilized A-tailing formulation successfully reactivates and perform equivalently to the liquid formulation.
- As shown in
FIG. 3 , a lyophilized End Repair mix rehydrates and performs equivalently to the liquid reaction mixture. The assay involves treating with various amounts of End Repair and ligation. - The traces in
FIGS. 4 , 5, and 6 show a complete library construction protocol conducted using room temperature stabile reagents. - The starting material was sheared DNA (
FIG. 4 ), which was treated with End Repair, followed by A-tailing and Ligation (FIG. 5 ). -
FIG. 6 shows the size selected library (final library product prior to Amplification). - Exemplary methods for library construction using room temperature stable library construction reagents.
