Virus diversity in metagenomes of a lichen symbiosis (Umbilicaria phaea): complete viral genomes, putative hosts and elevational distributions

Abstract: Summary Viruses can play critical roles in symbioses by initiating horizontal gene transfer, affecting host phenotypes, or expanding their host's ecological niche. However, knowledge of viral diversity and distribution in symbiotic organisms remains elusive. Here we use deep‐sequenced metagenomic DNA (PacBio Sequel II; two individuals), paired with a population genomics approach (Pool‐seq; 11 populations, 550 individuals) to understand viral distributions in the lichen Umbilicaria phaea. We assess (i) viral di… Show more

“…We reconstructed metagenomic sequences from a low-elevation and a high-elevation specimen of U. pustulata and U. phaea . Sequence output and quality for U. pustulata were summarized in Singh et al 2022, for U phaea in Merges et al 2021 and in Table S1.…”

“…Lichen thalli were thoroughly washed with sterile water and checked under the stereomicroscope for the presence of possible contamination and other lichen thalli. DNA was extracted from all of the samples using a cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-based method ( 41 ) as presented in reference 42 .…”

“…SMRTbell libraries were constructed for samples passing quality control ( SI Appendix , Table S2) according to the manufacturer’s instructions of the SMRTbell Express Prep kit v2.0 following the Low DNA Input Protocol (Pacific Biosciences, Menlo Park, CA) as described in 61 . Genomic DNA was sheared to 20-kb fragments using Megaruptor 2 (Diagenode, Belgium) and then bead-size selected with AMPure PB beads (Pacific Biosciences) to remove <3-kb SMRTbell templates.…”
