Fig. 1From: ddPCR allows 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing of very small DNA amounts from low-biomass samplesOverview of experimental procedure of this study. Experiments are divided into two parts. Left, control experiments (shaded green) were used for checking if the additional ddPCR step did not introduce bias in the resulting taxonomical profiles. Right, experimental procedures (shaded red) were described to detect the minimum input amount of DNA input necessary to produce reliable 16S rRNA gene sequencing resultsBack to article page
