Our goal is to prep genomic DNA from S. cerevisiae to make either a 10kbp or 20kbp library. We have been having trouble with sample quality (either contamination or damage?) resulting in short PacBio reads (only about 1-2kbp). The library "looks good" - it was the expected size ~10kbp - but something else must be wrong...
It seems that very high quality gDNA is needed for good PacBio results. If anyone has a protocol that they would be willing to share for fungi, I'd appreciate it!
We have tried, Qiagen and Zymo research products, in addition to old-school glass beads / phenol-chloroform extraction.
