KatharoSeq: DNA extraction from low-biomass samples
KatharoSeq (Minich et al., 2018) is designed for low-biomass samples, incorporating positive and negative controls and bioinformatic methods to identify differences in microbial communities with as few as 50 to 500 cells.
Please cite Minich et al. (2018) if you use KatharoSeq in your research.
