PyroCleaning results for mtDNA COI amplicons generated from community samples of Collembola from two forest sites on the island of Tenerife.

Each site has been amplified in triplicate. 62,825 raw reads were generated on 1/2 of a 454 plate from a total of 103,850 raw reads (the remainder of raw reads belonged to another experiment). Raw reads had a maximum length of 521 bp and an average length of 343 bp. Steps 3–6 are summarised in the text. Numbers in brackets represents sequence reduction as the % of raw reads above a minimum length of 170 nucleotides.
