Figure Lengend Snippet: Changing the restriction enzyme (RE) or size-selection regime modifies the fraction of genome recovered. Simulation 1 (blue lines, shading): the expected fragment size distribution for a RE digest with NlaIII and MluCI (CATG and AATT) in the Mus musculus genome is shown (solid blue line). “Broad” size selection (300 bp±50 bp) is modeled by a normal sampling distribution (mean = 300 bp, SD = 25 bp). Under this sampling distribution, 4,900,000 sequence reads (dashed blue line) are expected to cover ∼119,000 regions at 7× or greater (blue area). Simulation 2 (red lines, shading): the expected fragment size distribution for a digest with EcoRI and MspI (GAATTC and CCGG) is shown (solid red line). “Narrow” size selection (300 bp±24 bp; see text) is modeled by a normal sampling distribution (mean = 300 bp, SD = 11 bp; see Supporting ). Under this sampling distribution, an investment of 315,000 sequence reads (dashed red line) is sufficient to recover ∼17,000 regions at 7× or greater (red area).
Article Snippet: Instead, we use a double restriction enzyme (RE) digest (i.e., a restriction digest with two enzymes simultaneously) that results in at least five-fold reduction in library production cost–complete ddRADseq libraries cost ∼$5 per sample, while the necessary enzymatic steps following the initial restriction digest and ligation in random shearing RAD libraries alone introduce a cost of ∼$25 per library (NEB, Ipswich, MA).
