Authors: Tim Regan

Summary: This protocol describes the preparation of biological samples (specifically from a marine environment e.g. hatchery or RAS unit) for amplicon sequencing. Starting with a biological sample stored in Qiagen buffer ATL, or similar, it begins with a bead beating process to homogenise the sample. Enzymatic lysis using Metapolyzyme and Proteinase K are emplyed to ensure efficient DNA release. The Qiagen DNeasy kit is used to column extract DNA from lysates. Following concentration estimates of DNA elutions, samples are diluted >1:10 to avoid PCR inhibition during amplicon library preparation.
