Efficient and Robust Genomic DNA Isolation and Next-Generation Sequencing Library Preparation from Recalcitrant Wild Grape Species

Abstract

This protocol details the extraction of high-molecular-weight genomic DNA from grapevine tissues (wild and cultivated Vitis spp., including pathogen-infected samples) and the subsequent preparation of Illumina(R) whole-genome sequencing libraries using bead-bound Tn5 transposase. It is designed to overcome challenges from polyphenolic compounds and secondary metabolites in wild plants, providing a cost-effective workflow for large-scale population genomics. It includes recipes for buffers, incubation times, critical notes, and troubleshooting tips to maximize yield and library quality. Although designed for the grapevine DNA, this protocol is potentially applicable to other similar wild plant species HighlightsO_LIOptimized CTAB-PTB DNA extraction protocol for field-collected wild plant tissues.
