Figure 4From: Systematic overrepresentation of DNA termini and underrepresentation of subterminal regions among sequencing templates prepared from hydrodynamically sheared linear DNA moleculesDistribution of fragment sizes after shearing the circular and linear cosmid DNA. Aliquots of the sheared DNA samples used to construct the sequencing libraries were run on a 0.7% agarose gel alongside a 1 kb plus size marker. The gel was stained with SybrGold and scanned in a FluorImager. Molecular abundance was measured using an arbitrary value which was calculated by dividing the fluorescence intensity by molecular length. A) shows the resulting digital image. B) shows a graph of the size distributions for the three sheared DNA samples.Back to article page
