Abstract
Step by step protocol for library preparation of Annonaceae species within the ERC GLOBAL project. This protocol was followed for all libraries prepared within the project. Each step involves a purification phase (AMPure XP protocol), and is detailed at the start of this protocol. The protocol is done per series of 48 samples at a time with indexing.

The protocol also describes the steps for the dual hybridization of Daicel Arbor Biosciences Mybaits Angiosperm353 kit + Custom Annonacea baiting kit. The protocol is based on hybridisation protocols used at DIADE research unit IRD Montpellier France and on the Hybridization Capture for Targeted NGS User Manual version 5 protocol "standard" of Daicel Arbor Biosciences Mybaits.

To proceed DNA extraction of plant and in particular from herbarium and silicagel specimens of annonacea read the Annonaceae DNA extraction protocol from silicagel dried and herbarium preserved leaves

Guidelines
This librayry preparaion & dual hybridisation protocol follows and is inspired by Henriks et al (2021) using both the Annonaceae specific baits and the Angiosperms353 baits (see references). In the end we sequence both the Annonaceae specific baits and the Angiosperms353 universal ones.

Both the Annonaceae (Couvreur et al. 2019) and Angiosperms353 (Johnson et al., 2019) bait kits are available as Arbor Biosciences “myBaits” kits (Daicel Arbor Biosciences, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA; https://arborbiosci.com/genomics/targeted-sequencing/mybaits/).

To start we need purified DNA dilluted in water or TE buffer 50µL or more at 2 to 900ng/µL
below 60ng/µL samples are considered low quantity if only diluted in 50µL
samples with size less than 200pb is considered low quality/small fragments dna (use 1.8X ampure)
AMPURE XP DNA Purification protocol
On each steps of the protocol a purification step is need to change solution, concentrate or purify dna.


Each purification step is done with ReagentAgencourt AMPure XPBeckman CoulterCatalog #A63880

The only changes between the different purification steps is the start volumes as such: volume ratio 1X to 1.8X AMPure. For example for 1.8X: for 100 µl to be purified added 180 µl Ampure

Below we provide a protocol for 1X ReagentAgencourt AMPure XPBeckman CoulterCatalog #A63880
for start volume of Amount50 µL of DNA
resuspension (elution) volume = Amount20 µL .
The protocol is described for 96 well pcr plates, but can also be done in 1.5/ 2mL tubes.
