Minimum and mean Sørensen's similarity of replicate profiles at three major steps of the ARISA procedure.
| Portion of method | Minimum similarity | Mean similarity | ANOSIM R | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Water filtering and DNA extraction | 0.92 | 0.95 | 0.88 | 0.001 |
| PCR on a single DNA extraction | 0.94 | 0.97 | 0.81 | 0.001 |
| Capillary run on a single PCR reaction | 0.98 | 0.98 | −0.17 | 1.0 |
In addition, statistics for analysis of similarity (ANOSIM) comparisons run across replicates at each step of the ARISA procedure.
