Improved efficiency of two-step amplicon PCR using an acoustic liquid handler. Published Open Access and fee-free in Microbiology using a Publish and Read agreement: doi.org/10.1099/mic.... #MicrobioJ #PublishAndRead
Automated library preparation has generally led to an increase in read depth. (a) The distribution of each sample’s read depth across sequencing platform and library preparation method is shown in the above histogram plots. (b) The distribution of read depth of samples sequenced on the Illumina MiSeq only. The mean, variance and skewness of each were calculated. Values for these are given in the top right of each figure.

Improved efficiency of two-step amplicon PCR using an acoustic liquid handler
The improvement in next-generation sequencing technologies has reduced the costs of sequencing significantly. However, library preparation costs for amplicon sequencing have remained largely unchanged...
