title: RNA-Seq of Varanus komodoensis: adult male heart
design: RNA was extracted from heart tissue obtained from an adult male specimen that died of natural causes. Trizol reagent was used to extract RNA following manufacturers instructions. RNAseq libraries were produced using a NuGen RNAseq v2 and Ultralow v2 kits, and sequenced on an Illumina Nextseq 500.
