Notes/Details
1. One control well is required per 96-well PCR library plate, hence a maximum of 4x95 = 380 samples can be done together on one MiSeq run.
2. Extra costs may be incurred if samples, due to their nature, require more specialized (length, cost, etc.) extraction procedures.
3. & 4. Details of our 16S and metagenomics pipelines are available at https://github.com/mlangill/microbiome_helper, but a summary of the major deliverables clients will receive (analyses will require a "mapping file" from the clients containing any relevant metadata for the study) are available on our Protocols page.
Custom Bioinformatics: Additional bioinformatic analyses can be requested at an hourly rate or through research collaboration. Please contact us for more details.
Customs primers/amplicons: Beyond the 16/18S/ITS amplicons offered "in-stock", essentially any PCR amplicon (max. size ~550 bp, best ~450-500 bp) can be adapted to our MiSeq system. Please consults us for primer design/protocol details.
Processing time: Time to completion may be variable depending the amount of other partial projects in the queue - this applies primarily to amplicon runs when providing less than the full capacity of 380 samples, but may also occur when submitting small numbers of samples for metagenomics runs (<6 for MiSeq or <96 for NextSeq).
Payment: Payment is required within 30 days only after completion of work (ie: delivery of data). All payments are final and no refunds are accepted.
