Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biotechnology and relates to an enzyme composition for low-bias DNA fragmentation and its reaction solution. Background Technology

[0002] In recent decades, DNA sequencing technology has been applied to molecular biology research, greatly advancing the field's rapid development. While first-generation DNA sequencing technologies, with read lengths up to 1000 bp and accuracy of 99.99%, have helped researchers complete a large amount of sequencing work, their slow speed, high cost, and low throughput have made it difficult to support the growing demand for sequencing. Second-generation sequencing (NGS), also known as high-throughput sequencing (HTS), has been increasingly widely used in scientific research and clinical practice due to its advantages such as low cost and high throughput.

[0003] The main workflow of next-generation sequencing (NGS) consists of three parts: library construction, gene sequencing, and bioinformatics analysis. Library construction, as the initial step in NGS sequencing, significantly impacts the final sequencing results; therefore, ensuring high-quality library construction is crucial. Due to the short read lengths of NGS, the first step in DNA library construction is metagenomic fragmentation. Currently, mechanical and enzymatic fragmentation methods can be used to break down genomic DNA. Compared to the high equipment requirements and long processing time of traditional mechanical fragmentation methods, enzymatic fragmentation is increasingly widely used due to its ease of operation, shorter processing time, and lower cost.

[0004] However, compared to the unbiased random cutting of traditional mechanical fragmentation methods, fragmented enzymatic fragmentation selectively chooses restriction sites on the DNA double strand for cutting. This leads to a decrease in the abundance and diversity of random fragments in the library, resulting in poor library uniformity. This can cause significant deviations in sequencing depth across different regions of the gene, making it difficult to detect some low-abundance gene sites during sequencing, potentially leading to missed detections. Increasing sequencing depth can reduce the number of missed detection sites, but this results in a significant waste of data.

[0005] In summary, current fragmentation enzyme methods suffer from low abundance and diversity of random fragments in the library, poor library uniformity, significant sequencing depth discrepancies in different gene regions, and difficulty in detecting some low-abundance gene loci during sequencing, leading to missed detections. Providing an enzyme composition and reaction solution for DNA fragmentation, suitable for one-tube genome fragmentation, end repair, and A-tailing module addition, to obtain libraries with low bias and higher uniformity has become one of the urgent problems to be solved in the field of biotechnology.

[0110] Example 7

[0111] Construct PCR-free sequencing libraries.

[0112] This example uses human female gDNA as a template, with an initial input of 1000 ng. Different enzyme compositions and their corresponding reaction solutions from Examples 1-6 were used to fragment the gDNA template, perform end repair, 5' phosphorylation, and 3' A-tailing, in conjunction with Yisheng Biotechnology. The Rapid DNA Ligation Module for kit (#13580) and BGI Genomics MGIEasyPFAdapters (#1000013460) were used for adapter ligation reactions.

[0113] This example also uses commercially available Yisheng Biotechnology. Compare with OnePot Pro DNA FragmentationReagent (#12619). This agent fragments the gDNA template, repairs its ends, phosphorylates it at 5', and adds an A-tail at 3', then is used in conjunction with Yisheng Biotechnology.

The same amount of Clean Reads was taken from each sample. FastQC 0.11.9 was used to analyze the selected Clean Reads. The magnitude of base variation corresponding to the Perbase sequencecontent index in the analysis results was used as an indicator of enzyme digestion bias; greater variation indicated a more severe enzyme digestion bias. Experimental analysis results are as follows: Figure 1-7 As shown.

Figure 1 ), corresponding to the base fluctuation value of the enzyme cleavage site in Example 4 with added disaccharide was 16%-38% ( Figure 4 Example 2: Base fluctuation at the enzyme cleavage site was 16%-40%. Figure 2 The base fluctuation value of the enzyme cleavage site in Example 5, corresponding to the addition of disaccharides, was 18%-39%. Figure 5 Example 3: Base fluctuation at the enzyme cleavage site was 15%-40%. Figure 3 The base fluctuation value of the enzyme cleavage site in Example 6, corresponding to the addition of disaccharide derivatives, was 18%-36%. Figure 6 ).and Compared to OnePot Pro DNAFragmentation Reagent (#12619), the embodiments of this invention show a significant improvement in enzyme cleavage site bias. Examples 1-6, using different enzyme compositions, resulted in reduced base fluctuations at the cleavage sites and decreased bias. Furthermore, Examples 4, 5, and 6, with the addition of disaccharides or disaccharide derivatives, showed even better results than the simple enzyme compositions, further reducing base fluctuations at the cleavage sites and decreasing bias. The enzyme composition and reaction solution used in Example 6 were the optimal combination, resulting in minimal base fluctuations at the cleavage sites and the lowest bias.

[0124] The closer the coverage of different GC regions is to the average value of 1, the smaller the GC bias and the better the uniformity. The GC bias results of Examples 1-6 are as follows. Figure 8-13 As shown.

[0125] Results: GC preference results for Examples 1-6 ( Figures 8-13 Both are better than Yisheng Bio. OnePotPro DNAFragmentation Reagent(#12619)( Figure 14 This demonstrates that the enzyme composition and reaction solution of the present invention can ultimately obtain DNA fragments with low bias, resulting in libraries with higher uniformity and broad application prospects in next-generation sequencing. Specifically, the GC bias in Example 4 is better than that in Example 1, the GC bias in Example 5 is better than that in Example 2, and the GC bias in Example 6 is better than that in Example 3. Example 6 exhibits the lowest GC bias, resulting in the best outcome, indicating that the enzyme composition and reaction solution of Example 6 can ultimately obtain DNA fragments with low bias, resulting in libraries with the best uniformity and broad application prospects in next-generation sequencing.

[0126] In summary, in the next-generation sequencing (NGS) library construction process, the first steps—fragmentation, end repair, and A-tailing—play a crucial role in the final library quality. This invention explores the enzyme composition and corresponding reaction solution for these steps, synergistically optimizing the concentration, type, and quantity of each component. This ultimately solves the problem of poor library uniformity produced by enzyme digestion under high input levels, significantly reducing restriction enzyme site bias and GC bias. Furthermore, by conducting a complete NGS sequencing experiment on the DNA samples to be tested, the effectiveness of the enzyme composition and reaction solution provided by this invention is verified from the final sequencing results, further demonstrating its practical application value in NGS production.
