FAQ
Studies where shotgun metagenomic sequencing will be used to produce the microbial profile of a sample high in host DNA. To reduce the number of reads that will go to the host DNA, host DNA must first be depleted.
Feces have not been validated. Stool from a healthy donor is not expected to contain a high abundance of host DNA. However, if the stool is from a donor with a bowel related illness (e.g. ulcerative colitis), then host depletion may be useful.
Samples such as saliva, swabs, and bodily fluids from eukaryotic hosts with intact bacteria cells are directly compatible with this kit. Pre-treatment is required for whole blood and solid tissues. Samples in DNA/RNA Shield are not compatible.
No, the HostZero kit cannot be used to deplete host DNA from viral samples. Viral DNA will be removed with host DNA during the depletion step. The kit can only be used for host depletion from microbial samples.
