Abstract
Here we have created a collection of all the protocols used for WGS using the MiSeq, in order, from sample extraction to NCBI submission.

This collection has three sections:

  • Section 1: WGS Wet lab workflow for Illumina MiSeq
  • Section 2: Dry lab workflow for sequence QC and NCBI submission - Direct Submission
  • Section 3: Dry lab workflow for sequence QC and NCBI submission - PulseNet labs

Version history:

V4:
  • Links to protocols updated with latest version, and
  • Step 13 - Removed protocol "Populating NCBI template for submissions using BioNumerics", and replaced with protocol "Populating metadata templates for NCBI submissions using PulseNet 2.0"
V3:
  • Links to protocols updated with latest version,
  • Added new protocol: DNA Extraction from Inoculated Broth for WGS using the Maxwell RSC Cultured Cells DNA Kit,
  • Added new protocol: Querying for Bacterial Pathogen Genomic Data at NCBI.
