Description

This document describes the procedure used by the MD Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas, a Cancer Immune Monitoring and Analysis Center (CIMAC) site, for isolating and sequencing 16S rRNA bacterial genomic DNA from fecal specimens. The SOP includes DNA isolation using a modified version of the QIAamp Fast DNA Stool Kit, frozen storage of DNA, DNA quantification by spectrometer, 16S V4 amplification, amplicon pooling, and amplicon purification by gel extraction. The SOP also contains a list of primer sequences. The SOP is a product of the CIMAC and Cancer Immunologic Data Center Network (CIMAC-CIDC Network; https://dctd.cancer.gov/ResearchNetworks/cimacs_cidc_network.htm), a Cancer Moonshot Initiative.
