      <br>
      I am not sure if there is first hand experience how mercuric
      chloride behaves exactly, but it was used as fixative especially
      for marine invertebrates in the early 20th century (sublimate; cf.
      Piechocki &amp; H�ndel, 2007. Makroskopische Pr�parationstechnik,
      Wirbellose, 5th Edition) and as early antibiotic (e.g. against
      syphilis) because of its toxic properties. So I would assume that
      it does interact with tissues and DNAs and consequently do
      influence sequencing results.<br>
      <br>
      Perhaps Joachim can add more details ?<br>
      <br>
      Hope this helps<br>
