Figure Lengend Snippet: Illumina sequencing of amplicons from the isotype-1 β-tubulin gene encompassing codons 134, 167, 198 and 200. Panel A: Schematic representation of the A. caninum isotype-1 β-tubulin gene model and positions of the two amplified fragments; “exon 4, codons 134/167 fragment” and “exon 5, codons 198/200 fragment”. The vertical red bars on exons 4 and 5 indicate the positions of codons 134, 167, 198 and 200 respectively. Panel B: “Exon 4, codons 134/167 fragment” amplicon deep Illumina sequencing data. An amplicon was successfully generated from the TNA re-extraction 1 and TNA re-extraction 2 preparations in 6/10 replicate PCR reactions (indicated by the orange dots at the base of the chart) and 4/10 replicate PCR reactions (indicated by the blue dots at the base of the chart) respectively. Each of these amplicons was deep sequenced and the chart shows the relative proportions of the ASVs generated for each amplicon expressed as percentages (Y-axis). ASVs carrying the Q134H(CA A > CA T ) SNP are indicated in blue, ASVs carrying the F167Y(T T C > T A C) SNP are indicated in yellow and the remaining ASVs with susceptible genotypes at these two codons are indicated in grey. The table on the right shows the total number of reads mapping to the reference A. caninum isotype-1 β-tubulin sequence ( DQ459214.1 ) for each amplicon ordered as in the chart and percentage of the reads corresponding to the ASV carrying either the Q134H(CA A > CA T ) or F167Y(T T C > T A C) SNPs. Panel C: “Exon 5, codons198/200 fragment” amplicon deep Illumina sequencing data. An amplicon was successfully generated from the TNA re-extraction 1 and TNA re-extraction 2 preparations in 5/10 replicate PCR reactions (indicated by the orange dots at the base of the chart) and 7/10 replicate PCR reactions (indicated by the blue dots at the base of the chart) respectively. Each of these amplicons was deep sequenced and the chart shows the relative proportions of the ASVs generated for each amplicon expressed as percentages (Y-axis). ASVs carrying the F200Y(T T C > T A C) SNP are indicated in red and the remaining ASVs with susceptible genotypes at codons 198 and 200 are indicated in grey. The table on the right shows the total number of reads mapping to the reference A. caninum isotype-1 β-tubulin sequence ( DQ459314.1 ) for each amplicon ordered as in the chart and percentage of the reads corresponding to the ASV carrying the F200Y(T T C > T A C) SNP.
