Fragment size for Illumina Miseq 2 x 250-bp sequencing
I am simulating Illumina MiSeq 2 x 250-bp data with ART (https://www.niehs.nih.gov/research/resources/software/biostatistics/art/index.cfm) and am wondering the optimal fragment size (mean and st. dev.) for sequencing on this platform. Is there a recommended fragment size or insert size for shearing DNA prior to sequencing? Thank you!

Hello kwalter!
We believe that this post does not fit the main topic of this site.
This is a wet-lab rather than a bioinformatics question. Consider posting on StackExchange or SeqAnswers, but as this is a standard Illumina question, browse their documents first.
For this reason we have closed your question. This allows us to keep the site focused on the topics that the community can help with.
If you disagree please tell us why in a reply below, we'll be happy to talk about it.
Cheers!
