title: WGS of Campylobacter: strains associated with gull feces
design: Strains were isolated from gull fecal samples collected in the summer of 2012 from Hobie Beach (Oxnard, CA, USA) following the protocol reported by Waldenstrm and colleagues (2002) at 42 C under microaerobic conditions.  DNA was extracted using the MasterPure DNA extraction kit.  Paired-end 100-bp libraries were prepared using the TruSeq library kit followed by rapid mode sequencing on the HiSeq 2000 platform.
