Abstract
Description:
Haplotagging beads are prepared in form of a 96 well plate where each well contains M280-Streptavidin beads linked with complete and barcoded i5 and i7 Tn5-sequencing adapters. Each well contains 884736 well-specific and barcoded Tn5-adapters assembled with Tn5 transposase. Whole plate then has almost 85 million barcodes (96 x 884736 = 84934656 barcodes), with each bead carrying many copies of a single segmented barcode.

The haplotagging beads are used to prepare short-read linked-read sequencing libraries with both i7 and i5 index being 13bp long. High molecule DNA is tagmented with a single bead and all the reads of that DNA molecule will carry the same barcode combination (one of 85 million).

Haplotagging bead v3.5 design.
The 4 plates of haplotagging beads can be distinguished based on different combination of ligation overhang connecting two 6bp segments of i7 or i5 barcode (overhang being the red highlighted base, here shown design of Plate2 with T-overhang in i7 barcode and G-overhang in i5 barcode).
A and C represent 6bp segments of i7-barcode; B and D represent 6bp segments of i5-barcode.

1bp overhangs in i7/i5 barcode identifying Haplotagging bead plate:
Plate1: A/C
Plate2: T/G
Plate3: C/T
Plate4: G/A

Pipetting
Pool or Subsample all samples' beads into one tube.

Pool all or only proportion of beads from each sample depending on the sequencing coverage needed.
Note: 1 ng of DNA needs 30 Gb of sequencing (or 200 million reads) to achieve high enough linked-read information per DNA molecule.

Example: If we tagmentated 10 DNA samples and we will sequenced with 30Gb of sequencing output, then total input amount of DNA from all these 10 samples has to be 1ng. Each sample thus brings in 0.1 ng DNA.
This protocol did tagmentation using 0.3ng DNA, which is why we only pool 1/3 of the beads from each of the 10 samples into one single pooled sample for further preparation, to achieve 1 ng of gDNA input. Keep the rest of the beads in Temperature4 °C as backup.
