Fig. 1From: Optimization of DNA extraction for advancing coral microbiota investigationsOverview of experimental design. During phase I, DNA extraction treatments were performed on subdivided tissue, with efficiency of SSU gene amplification assessed using gel screening of PCR products. The green check mark and red X indicate that amplicons from the treatment were and were not chosen for sequencing, respectively. During phase II, well-performing PB, VG, PG, and VGl extracts were amplified and sequenced for microbial community analysis.
