Cefas - CEFAS24-39 ITT for services for holistic approaches to investigating disease in aquatic animal systems in India, under the Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP)
Status: Open
Published Date: 09/04/2024
Closing Date: 10/05/2024
Value: £140,000
CEFAS24-39 ITT for services for holistic approaches to investigating disease in aquatic animal systems in India, under the Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) - The Ocean Country Partnership Programme (OCPP) is funded through official development assistance (ODA) as part of the UK's £500 million Blue Planet Fund. Through the OCPP, the UK government partners with ODA-eligible countries to deliver tangible and positive impacts on the livelihoods of coastal communities that depend on healthy marine ecosystems. The programme supports countries to strengthen marine science expertise, develop science-based policy and management tools, and create educational resources for coastal communities. Under the sustainable seafood objective, the programme supports the development of the skills and expertise needed to adopt sustainable seafood practices. This will reduce risks such as the spread of zoonotic diseases from unsustainable or unsafe activities, and will support trade in safe seafood. The programme will also help crack down on illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing by supporting the development of better management, monitoring and enforcement capabilities. Following a One Health Aquaculture workshop, held in Kerala, India in February 2023, key priorities were identified for India that support the overall aim of the Sustainable Seafood project. These priorities are: • Aquatic disease • Water quality • Climate change • AMR In this project we aim to combine the four key priorities in one project focusing on investigating emerging and/or cryptic aquatic animal disease. Given the scope of this funding, only disease in marine or brackishwater aquatic animal culture can be investigated. This project aims to investigate an aquatic animal culture system in India that is experiencing clinical signs of disease and/or mortalities using a holistic approach (sampling both the affected species and the environment that it is cultured in). Traditional methods to investigate disease, such as histopathology and basic water quality measurements, will be combined with metatranscriptomics, and microbial/algal community analysis (including 16S bacterial and 18S eukaryote metagenomics) and chemical analysis to provide information on the parameters involved in disease and health states of the aquatic animal of interest.

Following a One Health Aquaculture workshop, held in Kerala, India in February 2023, key priorities were identified for India that support the overall aim of the Sustainable Seafood project. These priorities are: • Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) • Aquatic disease • Water quality • Climate change In this project we aim to combine the AMR, aquatic disease and water quality priorities in one project focusing on characterising serotypes of Streptococcus agalactiae bacteria present in culture settings in Asia. This project aims to characterise Streptococcus agalactiae serotypes from a range of regions and culture systems in India, as well as other countries in South-East Asia using high-throughput whole genome sequencing. The genomic data will be used to determine the AMR and toxin genes present in the serotypes, and compare them to existing data from humans, terrestrial-farmed animals, and aquatic animals to determine the risk of zoonosis from antimicrobial resistant S. agalactiae. This Contract will be a collaboration between the Supplier and Cefas, with Cefas able to provide training and support in preparation of samples for whole genome (in the form of SOPs), and bioinformatic analysis of sequence data generated within this project. Training may be online or in-person and will be confirmed with Cefas with the Supplier upon Contract commencement.

BIP SOLUTIONS LIMITED - GB-London: RBGKEW1276 - Whole Genome Sequencing for cacao DNA from herbarium specimens
Status: Awarded
Published Date: 22/03/2024
Closing Date: 16/02/2024
Value: £17,920
GB-London: RBGKEW1276 - Whole Genome Sequencing for cacao DNA from herbarium specimens - The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (RBG Kew) intends to appoint a supplier for a high-throughput sequencing service from ancient-DNA extractions sourced from historical herbarium collections of cacao specimens (Theobroma cacao, Malvaceae) and wild relative species (Theobroma/Herrania spp.). Utilizing a CTAB-extraction method, the extracted samples will be sent in batches. The supplier must conduct pre-quality control (QC) tests (including RNase treatment and DNA purification, if necessary) on these total-genome DNA extractions, ensuring acceptable yields and concentrations. Tasks also include library preparation using the Nextera XT Library Kit and performing paired-end whole genomic sequencing (WGS) using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 (or an equally powerful sequencing platform) to seek obtaining ideally ~12 Gb per sample, depending on the conditions of the sample. This process aims to cover 120-140 samples, targeting a coverage of 15-30x each, given the known genome size of Theobroma species at ~450-490 Mbp. The supplier should be acquainted with high-throughput sequencing from aged herbarium samples, due to the historical nature of these collections (preserved over 50-100 years ago). They are expected to have previous experience in the production of satisfactory data under these conditions and will need to state this in the application. Each sample sent will contain 25-50 uL of DNA, predominantly at concentrations of 10 ng/uL (some with less, but never less than 0.5 ng/uL of total DNA). It is expected that many samples will have heavily fragmented DNA, and the supplier should be able to present alternatives to deal with these. Following sequencing, the supplier should conduct post-QC to verify data quality before delivery. Data transfer methods such as USB, HDD, or preferably Cloud transfer are viable options. The genomic data obtained will support an ongoing project at RBG Kew. This project aims to comprehensively study the geographical history, and other population genomic studies of Theobroma cacao at a global scale, utilising molecular data obtained from historical herbarium collections combined with data obtained from other sources.
