A simple method for high molecular-weight genomic DNA extraction suitable for long-read sequencing from spores of an obligate biotroph oomycete.

Abstract:

:Long-read sequencing technologies are having a major impact on our approaches to studying non-model organisms and microbial communities. By significantly reducing the cost and facilitating the genome assembly pipelines, any laboratory can now develop its own genomics program regardless of the complexity of the genome studied. The most crucial current challenge is to develop efficient protocols for extracting genomic DNA (gDNA) with high quality and integrity adapted to the organism of interest. This can be particularly complex for obligate pathogens that must maintain intimate interactions inside infected host tissues. Here we propose a simple and cost-effective method for high molecular weight gDNA extraction from spores of Plasmopara halstedii, an obligate biotroph oomycete pathogen responsible for downy mildew in sunflower. We optimized the yield, the quality and the integrity of the extracted gDNA by fine-tuning three critical parameters, the grinding, the lysis temperature and the lysis duration. We obtained gDNA with a fragment size distribution reaching a peak ranging from 79 to 145 kb. More than half of the extracted gDNA consisted of DNA fragments larger than 42 kb, with 23% of fragments larger than 100 kb. We then demonstrated the relevance of this protocol for long-read sequencing using PacBio RSII technology. With this protocol, we were able to obtain a mean read length of 9.3 kb, a max read length of 71 kb and an N50 of 13.3 kb. The development of such DNA extraction protocols is an essential prerequisite for fully exploiting technologies requiring high molecular weight gDNA (e.g. long-read sequencing or optical mapping). These technological advances will help generate data to answer questions such as the role of newly duplicated gene clusters, repeated regions, genomic structural variations or to define number of chromosomes that still remains undefined in many species of pathogenic fungi and oomycetes.
