title: genome sequence of sitophilus oryzae: adult male gonads
design: Male and female adults of Sitophilus oryzae were used for DNA extraction. Only the gonads were used to minimize DNA contamination from its diet. The sexual organs were obtained from aposymbiotic adults and a DNA extraction protocol specific for Sitophilus was performed. Three different DNA samples were obtained from adult male gonads. Each sample was made up by the genomic DNA from 100 individuals. These samples were sequenced on 4 MinION flow cells.
