Benchmarking DNA isolation kits used in analyses of the urinary microbiome

Abstract The urinary microbiome has been increasingly characterized using next-generation sequencing. However, many of the technical methods have not yet been specifically optimized for urine. We sought to compare the performance of several DNA isolation kits used in urinary microbiome studies. A to...
