title: faecal metagenome of cygnus olor, sample UTMF0990
design: Encapsidated viral nucleic acids were enriched from faecal material by entrifugation and by DNase treatment. DNA and RNA nucleic acids were extracted, reverse transcription was performed using non-ribosomal random hexamers. Second strand DNA synthesis was performed with Klenow fragment DNA polymerase. Nucleic acids were purified by phenol/chloroform extraction and ethanol precipitation. Samples were barcoded and paired-end library preparation was performed for all samples using an Illumina Nextera XT kit.
