title: Whole genome sequencing of humback whale
design: DNA samples were quantified using Qubit 2.0 Fluorometer (Life Technologies, Carlsbad, CA, USA). The PacBio SMRTbell library (~20kb) for PacBio Sequel was constructed using SMRTbell Express Template Prep Kit 2.0 (PacBio, Menlo Park, CA, USA) using the manufacturer recommended protocol. The library was bound to polymerase using the Sequel II Binding Kit 2.0 (PacBio) and loaded onto PacBio Sequel II). Sequencing was performed on PacBio Sequel II 8M SMRT cells.
