title: DNA sequencing of macrocystis pyrifera gametophyte
design: 10 mg of dried tissue in a Qiagen Powerbead Tubes with metal 2.38 mm beads and homogenized them using a Qiagen TissueLyser for 60 s at 30 Hz. From the powdered tissue, we extracted DNA using the Macherey-Nagel Nucleospin Plant II kit along with the CTAB lysis buffer.
