CEES metagenomics wiki

This wiki is meant as a resource for people performing metagenomics work in CEES. The website contains protocols for DNA extraction, PCR, library preps, sequencing etc., in addition to relevant literature.

Tips for adding a page (from the bioinf-wiki of Lex).

Material

The starting material currently includes cod gut samples, human stool samples and (...?).

Protocols

DNA extraction and 16S rDNA amplification are performed according to the protocols of the Earth MIcrobiome Project (EMP). The protocols can be found here.
