title: WGBS-seq of bady wall: sea cucumber
design: Total DNA was extracted using QIAamp Fast DNA Tissue Kit (Qiagen, Dusseldorf, Germany) following the manufacturer's procedure. The quantity of DNA was measured by reading A260/280 ratios by spectrophotometer. When A260/280 ratios located range 1.8 to 2.0, DNA was available. The fragmented DNA samples by using sonication were subjected to bisulfite conversion. The Accel-NGS Methyl-Seq DNA Library Kit (Swift, MI, USA) was utilized for attaching adapters to single-stranded DNA fragments. Finally, we performed the pair-end 2150bp sequencing on an illumina Hiseq 4000 platform housed in the LC Sciences
