Article Title: Impact of DNA Extraction and 16S rRNA Gene Amplification Strategy on Microbiota Profiling of Faecal Samples

doi: 10.3390/ijms26115226

Figure Lengend Snippet: DNA concentration of amplicons obtained during bacterial library preparations with two protocols, home brew and VeriFi. Amplicons were quantified by Nano Drop ® ND-1000. Median values are indicated by the line in the box plot. The box extends from the 25th to the 75th percentile and whiskers indicate the minimum and maximum values. t -test was used to calculate p -values ( p -value *); ( A ) box plot showing DNA concentrations obtained during the amplification of the 16S rRNA V3–V4 regions, p -value = 0.026; ( B ) box plot showing DNA concentrations obtained during the barcoding step using Nextera TM primers, p -value = 1.6 × 10 −9 .

Figure Lengend Snippet: Analysis of alpha and beta diversity. Alpha diversity was based on the Shannon ( A ) and Simpson ( B ) indices. The pairwise Wilcoxon rank test, used to compare the two protocols of amplification, home brew and VeriFi, indicated no statistically significant differences. Beta diversity was calculated using the Bray–Curtis distance and represented by PCoA plot ( C ). PERMANOVA test is statistically significant, p -value = 0.035, R 2 = 0.082. The Bray–Curtis distance was represented by box plot ( D ). **, p value < 0.001.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Expression of prostanoid receptor mRNA in human DA. RNA was isolated from excised tissue, reverse-transcribed by oligo(dT) and PCR amplification for all tissue samples was repeated three times. A fragment of β-actin was amplified as internal control. A representative expression pattern of one tissue sample is shown, base pair markers (bp) are indicated on both sides.
