Info:
Genomic DNA was subjected to 16S PCR amplifications. Pippin Prep was used to retrieve the amplicons in order to isolate fragments away from aspecific products, prior to Illumina MiSeq sequencing.

A Filtering Method to Generate High Quality Short Reads Using Illumina Paired-End Technology

June 2013

Authors:
A. Murat Eren, Joseph H. Vineis., Hilary G. Morrison, Mitchell L. Sogin

Info:
The authors present a method of library preparation for overlapping paired-end sequencing on the Illumina platform, and improved analysis software, to reduce the error in metagenomic studies using NGS of 16S rRNA gene amplicons. The Pippin Prep was used for DNA size selection.

Multiplex target capture with double-stranded DNA probes

May 2013

Authors:
Peidong Shen, Wenyi Wang, Aung-Kyaw Chi, Yu Fan, Ronald W Davis, Curt Scharfe

Info:
The authors describe a new method for targeted NGS using double-stranded probes rather than single-stranded ones, improving sensitivity for variant detection, and at a lower cost. The probes consist of single-stranded complimentary long padlock probes (CLPPs), each of which selectively captures one strand of a genomic target through circularization. The Pippin Prep was used to size select libraries for the Illumina MiSeq platform.
