1. Overview of the protocol
Introduction to the adeno-associated virus sequencing protocol
This end-to-end protocol describes how to extract recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) vectors using the PureLink™ Viral RNA/DNA Mini extraction kit before sequencing using the Native Barcoding Sequencing Kit 24 V14 (SQK-NBD114.24). We have also included an optional annealing step post-extraction, however, we have found higher amounts of full-length inverted terminal repeat (ITR) sequences when the annealing step has been skipped before library preparation. Flushing steps have also been included as we recommend washing the flow cell to restore pores and to load a fresh library to continue sequencing.
The Know-How document is available for further details about the protocol optimisations and best practices.
Note: This protocol is currently validated to barcode up to six AAV samples for sequencing on a single flow cell.
Sequencing of the rAAV vectors enables the validation of vectors to ensure the transgene and promoter of interest are present, as well as identifying truncated rAAV genomes and any contamination. Validation is crucial in gene therapy to ensure the correct rAAV genomes are packaged into cells before therapeutic use.
Steps in the sequencing workflow:
Prepare for your experiment You will need to:
- Extract your DNA, and check its length, quantity and purity. The quality checks performed during the protocol are essential in ensuring experimental success.
- Ensure you have your sequencing kit, the correct equipment and third-party reagents.
- Download the software for acquiring and analysing your data.
- Check your flow cell to ensure it has enough pores for a good sequencing run.
Experiment workflow
Protocol step | Process | Time | Stop option |
---|---|---|---|
DNAseI treatment | Perform DNAseI treatment of the rAAV lysates to remove any non-encapsidated DNA from the rAAV preparations | 35 minutes | - |
DNA extraction from rAAV | Extract the rAAV vectors using the PureLink™ Viral RNA/DNA Mini Kit | 45 minutes | –80°C for long-term storage |
Annealing | (Optional) Self-anneal any remaining (+) and (-) single strands of rAAV vector | 80 minutes | - |
End-prep | Prepare the DNA ends for adapter attachment | 20 minutes | 4°C overnight |
Native barcode ligation | Ligate the native barcodes to the DNA ends | 60 minutes | 4°C overnight |
Adapter ligation and clean-up | Ligate sequencing adapters to the DNA ends | 50 minutes | 4°C for short-term storage or for repeated use, such as for reloading your flow cell –80°C for long-term storage |
Priming and loading the flow cell | Prime the flow cell, and load your DNA library into the flow cell | 5 minutes |
Sequencing
You will need to:
- Start a sequencing run using the MinKNOW software which will collect raw data from the device and basecall reads in real-time. The reads will also be demultiplexed in MinKNOW.
- Start the EPI2ME software and use the wf-aav-qc workflow for analysis.

This extraction step is performed using the PureLink™ Viral RNA/DNA Mini Kit and includes steps from the user guide for completeness.
The PureLink™ Viral RNA/DNA Mini Kit user guide is available here.
Add 60 ml of 96-100% ethanol to 15 ml of Wash Buffer (WII) and store at room temperature.
Add 310 µl nuclease-free water directly to the tube of 310 µg lyophilised Carrier RNA to obtain 1 µg/µl Carrier RNA stock solution and mix thoroughly.
Calculate the volume of Lysis Buffer/Carrier RNA mix required to process the desired number of samples simultaneously using the following formula:
N x 0.21 ml (volume of Lysis Buffer/reaction) = A ml A ml x 28 µl/ml = B µl
N = number of samples A = calculated volume of Lysis Buffer B = calculated volume of 1 µg/µl Carrier RNA stock solution to add to Lysis Buffer
Worked example for 6 samples:
6 x 0.21 ml = 1.26 ml 1.26 ml x 28 µl/ml = 35.28 µl
1.26 ml of Lysis Buffer 35.28 µl of Carrier RNA stock solution
Aliquot the Carrier RNA stock solution and take forward the required volume into the next step. Store any excess aliquots at -20°C and avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
重要
Do NOT vortex the Lysis Buffer as this will generate a foam.
In a sterile 2 ml Eppendorf DNA LoBind tube, add the calculated volume of Carrier RNA stock solution to the calculated volume of Lysis Buffer and mix gently by pipetting.
For 6 samples, add 35.28 µl of Carrier RNA stock solution to 1.26 ml of Lysis Buffer.
Store the buffer at 4°C until use.
重要
The Lysis Buffer must be used within an hour.
Add 25 µl Proteinase K into a fresh 1.5 ml Eppendorf DNA LoBind tube for each sample.
Spin down the DNAseI treated rAAV samples.
Transfer 200 µl of an rAAV lysate sample to a tube containing Proteinase K and repeat for each sample into separate tubes.
Note: Ensure the rAAV samples are at room temperature and not combined.
Add 200 µl Lysis Buffer to each tube. Close the tube lids and mix by vortexing for 15 seconds.
Incubate at 56°C for 15 minutes.
Briefly centrifuge the tubes to remove any drops from the inside of the lids.

Place the Viral Spin Columns in clean Wash Tubes and add 500 µl Wash Buffer (WII) with ethanol to the Viral Spin Columns.
Centrifuge the columns at ~6,800 x g for 1 minute. Discard the flow-through and place the spin columns back into the Wash Tubes.
Add 500 µl Wash Buffer (WII) with ethanol into the spin columns.
Centrifuge the columns at ~6,800 x g for 1 minute. Discard the Wash Tubes containing the flow-through.
Place the spin columns into clean Wash Tubes.
Centrifuge the columns at maximum speed in the microcentrifuge for 1 minute to dry the membranes completely. Discard the Wash Tubes with the flow-through.
Place the Viral Spin Columns in clean 1.5 ml Eppendorf DNA LoBind tubes.
Add 50 µl of nuclease-free water into the centre of each of the spin columns and close the lids.
Incubate at room temperature for 1 minute.
Centrifuge the spin columns at maximum speed for 1 minute. The Eppendorf DNA LoBind tubes will contain the extracted rAAV DNA for each sample. Remove and discard the spin columns.

仪器
- Vortex mixer
- 盛有冰的冰桶
- P1000 pipette and tips
- P200 移液枪和枪头
- P10 移液枪和枪头
Flow cell washing and reloading
Due to the low input material for the library preparation, low pore occupancy (<25% of active pore) can occur before enough data is generated for data analysis. Therefore, we recommend washing and reloading your flow cell with fresh library to maintain high data acquisition when approximately ~25% of active pores remain.
The Flow Cell Wash Kit removes most of the initial library as well as unblocking pores to prepare the flow cell for loading a new library for further sequencing. Pore availability can be viewed on the Pore Activity or the Pore Scan plot on MinKNOW.
提示
We recommend keeping the light shield on the flow cell during washing if a second library will be loaded straight away.
If the flow cell is to be washed and stored, the light shield can be removed.
重要
A P1000 pipette must be used for all flushing steps to create a seal with the flow cell ports.
Place the tube of Wash Mix (WMX) on ice. Do not vortex the tube.
Thaw one tube of Wash Diluent (DIL) at room temperature.
Mix the contents of Wash Diluent (DIL) thoroughly by vortexing, then spin down briefly and place on ice.
In a fresh 1.5 ml Eppendorf DNA LoBind tube, prepare the following Flow Cell Wash Mix:
Reagent | Volume per flow cell |
---|---|
Wash Mix (WMX) | 2 μl |
Wash Diluent (DIL) | 398 μl |
Total | 400 μl |
Mix well by pipetting, and place on ice. Do not vortex the tube.
Pause the sequencing experiment in MinKNOW, and leave the flow cell in the device.
重要
It is vital that the flow cell priming port and SpotON sample port are closed before removing the waste buffer to prevent air from being drawn across the sensor array area, which would lead to a significant loss of sequencing channels.
Remove the waste buffer, as follows:
- Close the priming port and SpotON sample port cover, as indicated in the figure below.
- Insert a P1000 pipette into waste port 1 and remove the waste buffer.
Note: As both the priming port and SpotON sample port are closed, no fluid should leave the sensor array area.
Slide the flow cell priming port cover clockwise to open.
重要
从测序芯片中反旋排出缓冲液。请勿吸出超过20-30µl的缓冲液,并确保芯片上的纳米孔阵列一直有缓冲液覆盖。将气泡引入阵列会对纳米孔造成不可逆转地损害。
After opening the priming port, check for a small air bubble under the cover. Draw back a small volume to remove any bubbles:
- Set a P1000 pipette to 200 µl.
- Insert the tip into the flow cell priming port.
- Turn the wheel until the dial shows 220-230 µl, or until you can see a small volume of buffer/liquid entering the pipette tip.
- Visually check that there is continuous buffer from the flow cell priming port across the sensor array.
Slowly load 200 µl of the prepared flow cell wash mix into the priming port, as follows:
- Using a P1000 pipette, take 200 µl of the flow cell wash mix
- Insert the pipette tip into the priming port, ensuring there are no bubbles in the tip
- Slowly twist the pipette wheel down to load the flow cell (if possible with your pipette) or push down the plunger very slowly, leaving a small volume of buffer in the pipette tip.
- Set a timer for a 5 minute incubation.
Once the 5 minute incubation is complete, carefully load the remaining 200 µl of the prepared flow cell wash mix into the priming port, as follows:
- Using a P1000 pipette, take the remaining 200 µl of the flow cell wash mix
- Insert the pipette tip into the priming port, ensuring there are no bubbles in the tip
- Slowly twist the pipette wheel down to load the flow cell (if possible with your pipette) or push down the plunger very slowly, leaving a small volume of buffer in the pipette tip.
Close the priming port and wait for 1 hour.

Click the Native Barcoding Kit 24 V14 (SQK-NBD114.24).
Click Continue to Run Options to continue.
Keep the run options to their default settings of 72 hour run length and 200 bp minimum read length.
Minimum read length can be reduced down to 20 bp to increase output by sequencing more short reads, such as contaminanting reads including ITR tetramers. During development of this protocol, it was noted that despite the increase in short reads, a higher proportion of short reads were of lower Qscore (≤9).
Click Continue to basecalling to continue.
Set up basecalling and barcoding using the following parameters:
Ensure basecalling is ON.
Next to Models, click Edit options and choose the High accuracy basecaller (HAC) from the drop-down menu.

低质量样本
现象 | 可能原因 | 措施及备注 |
---|---|---|
低纯度DNA(Nanodrop测定的DNA吸光度比值260/280<1.8,260/230 <2.0-2.2) | 用户所使用的DNA提取方法未能达到所需纯度 | 您可在 污染物专题技术文档 中查看污染物对后续文库制备和测序实验的影响。请尝试其它不会导致污染物残留的 提取方法。 请考虑将样品再次用磁珠纯化。 |
RNA完整度低(RNA完整值(RIN)<9.5,或rRNA在电泳凝胶上的条带呈弥散状) | RNA在提取过程中降解 | 请尝试其它 RNA 提取方法。您可在 RNA完整值专题技术文档 中查看更多有关RNA完整值(RIN)的介绍。更多信息,请参阅 DNA/RNA 操作 页面。 |
RNA的片段长度短于预期 | RNA在提取过程中降解 | 请尝试其它 RNA 提取方法。 您可在 RNA完整值专题技术文档中查看更多有关RNA完整值(RIN)的介绍。更多信息,请参阅DNA/RNA 操作 页面。 我们建议用户在无RNA酶污染的环境中操作,并确保实验设备没有受RNA酶污染. |
经AMPure磁珠纯化后的DNA回收率低
现象 | 可能原因 | 措施及备注 |
---|---|---|
低回收率 | AMPure磁珠量与样品量的比例低于预期,导致DNA因未被捕获而丢失 | 1. AMPure磁珠的沉降速度很快。因此临加入磁珠至样品前,请确保将磁珠重悬充分混匀。 2. 当AMPure磁珠量与样品量的比值低于0.4:1时,所有的DNA片段都会在纯化过程中丢失。 |
低回收率 | DNA片段短于预期 | AMPure磁珠量与样品量的比值越低,针对短片段的筛选就越严格。每次实验时,请先使用琼脂糖凝胶(或其他凝胶电泳方法)确定起始DNA的长度,并据此计算出合适的AMPure磁珠用量。 |
末端修复后的DNA回收率低 | 清洗步骤所用乙醇的浓度低于70% | 当乙醇浓度低于70%时,DNA会从磁珠上洗脱下来。请确保使用正确浓度的乙醇。 |
