Statement of Work

Ultrasonicator for DNA fragmentation

1.0 BACKGROUND

This requirement is for the United States Department of Agriculture, Animal Plant Health and Inspection Service, National Bio and Agro Defense Facility (NBAF) in Manhattan, Kansas. As the Nation's veterinary authority, Veterinary Services improves the health, productivity, and quality of life for animals and people, and maintains and promotes the safety and availability of animals, animal products, and veterinary biologics. The NBAF facility helps protect the nation’s agriculture, farmers and citizens against the threat and potential impact of serious animal diseases.

2.0 OBJECTIVE

The objective of this acquisition is to purchase two (2) new Ultrasonicators for use at the NBAF laboratory for DNA fragmentation for NGS sequencing.

Construction of high‐quality sequencing libraries is pivotal to successful next‐generation sequencing (NGS). One critical step in library preparation for NGS is DNA shearing which involves the fragmentation of DNA molecules into appropriate and consistent fragment sizes for sensitive and accurate sequencing.

Of all the methods used to shear DNA, sonication is considered the best as it does not use enzymes or chemicals that may be carried throughout the sequencing workflow which may negatively impact read quality downstream. In addition, sonication generates more uniformly sized fragments than shearing with specific restriction endonucleases, because these enzymes target specific points along a DNA sequence without regard for the distance between those points. Briefly, ultrasonicators shear DNA by applying bursts of ultrasound, which cleaves hydrogen bonds and causes single‐ and double‐strand ruptures of the DNA helix. Using this method, DNA can be sheared into fragments as small as 100 base pairs in length. Exposure of DNA to uniform bursts of ultrasound leads to unbiased shearing, resulting in high yields of evenly sized double‐stranded DNA for library preparation.

The ability to use ultrasonicators to fragment DNA for the construction of high quality NGS libraries will be instrumental to the research performed by Foreign Animal Disease Research Unit (FADRU) which will be transferred to the NBAF laboratory. This technology will allow researchers to elucidate the host‐ pathogen interactions of FMDV, including identifying viral determinants of FMDV that control virulence in susceptible hosts, determining virus/host interactions at the primary sites of infection in ruminants and pigs with focus on factors defining tropism and early host responses, and determining characteristics and mechanisms of FMDV within‐hot evolution over distinct phases of infection. As well as determine the molecular basis for FMDV‐host interactions that impact virulence.
