Here, we focus on Leishmania extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their DNA content, detailing a protocol for the isolation of these nanoparticles and their subsequent genomic characterization. We describe a robust and comprehensive approach for obtaining, storing, and analyzing EVs derived from cultured parasites. We detail a user-friendly bioinformatics pipeline for sequence analysis and visualization of CNV analysis and ploidy changes. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Douanne et al. (2022)..
在此,我们聚焦于利什曼原虫细胞外囊泡(EVs)及其DNA含量,详细介绍了分离这些纳米颗粒及其后续基因组特征分析的方案。我们描述了一种用于获取、储存和分析源自培养寄生虫的EVs的强大且全面的方法。我们详细介绍了一种用户友好的生物信息学流程,用于序列分析以及拷贝数变异(CNV)分析和倍性变化的可视化。有关此方案的使用和执行的完整详细信息,请参考杜阿纳等人(2022年)的研究。
