For library preparation protocols in which a fragment size selection step is done without a prior shearing step, for example, ddRAD (Peterson et al. 2012) and ezRAD (Toonen et al. 2013), the "size.select" function of the software package SimRAD (Lepais and Weir 2014) constitutes a valuable complementary study design tool.

This limited clinical impact was reflected by the finding that the adjusted R for prior step count and weight data was only marginally different from the adjusted R for only prior step count (0.5882 vs 0.5895) in its association with subsequent step count, that is, weight data only explained 0.13% of the variance in subsequent step count.
Finally, LIC uses larger overhangs (10 30 bp) than Golden Gate based assembly; these overhangs remain stable during transformation and eliminate the need for a prior ligation step.
