title: Nasopharyngeal microbiome
design: DNA was extracted using the Zymo Quick-DNA/RNA Viral Kit and eluted in 50 _l DNase/RNase-Free Water as per manufacturers instructions and shipped to CosmosID. DNA samples were quantified via Qubit4 and normalized for library preparation via Illumina NexteraXT following manufacturers protocol. DNA libraries were then quantified via Qubit4 and pooled in equimolar ratio for sequencing via Illumina NovaSeq 6000.
