has anyone used any other method for extracting dna samples from liquid environmental samples other than filters ?
how about soil?

What are you interested in looking at? Bacteria, eukaryotes, viruses, total? There are other methods for concentrating cells (differential centrifugation, tangential flow etc.) but it depends on what you're looking for and the volumes you're dealing with.
With soil there are a million different extraction procedures in the literature, many good and bad, but need a bit more detail to help

Data variability is still an issue in sequencing technologies despite the advances in reproducibility and accuracy of these platforms. But the problem does not originate in the sequencing itself, but in the previous steps, before the sample reaches the sequencer.
The first step is collection, followed by preservation and sample preparation for analysis. Most scientists overlook those steps, but not being careful might just be skewing the experiment’s results.
