Validation of Golden Gate assemblies using highly multiplexed Nanopore amplicon sequencing
Golden Gate cloning has revolutionized synthetic biology. Its concept of modular, highly characterized libraries of parts that can be combined into higher order assemblies allows engineering principles to be applied to biological systems. The basic parts, typically stored in level 0 plasmids, are sequence validated by the method of choice and can be combined into higher order assemblies on demand. Higher order assemblies are typically transcriptional units, and multiple transcriptional units can be assembled into multi-gene constructs. Higher order Golden Gate assembly based on defined and validated parts usually does not introduce sequence changes. Therefore, simple validation of the assemblies, e.g. by colony PCR or restriction digest pattern analysis, is sufficient. However, in many experimental setups, researchers do not use defined parts, but rather part libraries, resulting in assemblies of high combinatorial complexity where sequencing again becomes mandatory. Here we present a detailed protocol for the use of a highly multiplexed dual barcode amplicon sequencing using the Nanopore sequencing platform for in-house sequence validation. The workflow, called DuBA.flow, is a start-to-finish procedure that provides all necessary steps from a single colony to the final easy-to-interpret sequencing report.
