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.

Material

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

Protocols

DNA extraction

For the above mentioned materials, the main procedure for DNA extraction is a modified version of the DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit, including an initial bead beating step.

DNeasy 96 Blood & Tissue Kit handbook

Paper describing the modified protocol: "High-throughput extraction of arthropod vector and pathogen DNA using bead milling" (Allender et al. 2004)
