| Abstract |
Advances in sequencing technologies have made the investigation of microbial ecology and community dynamics more tractable. The critical first step in such analyses is the efficient and representative recovery of PCR-competent DNA from complex environmental samples. All extraction protocols contain inherent biases, meaning that choice of method involves compromise between various factors, including efficiency, yield, universality, and representative extraction. Here, details are given for a routine method used in our laboratory to extract DNA from soils, sediments, biofilms, roots, and fungi. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 February 2014.
All research outputs
#18,365,132
of 22,745,803 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#7,863
of 13,090 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#229,336
of 305,223 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#294
of 597 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,745,803 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,090 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.3. This one is in the 24th percentile – i.e., 24% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 305,223 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 597 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
