title: Metagenomic Illumina sequencing of Ctenocephalides orientis pool wCori_F8
design: Illumina library preparation and sequencing of the samples were performed in the Centre for Genomic Research (CGR) at the University of Liverpool. TruSeq PCR-free paired-end libraries (2x150 bp) with a 350 bp insert were generated and sequenced with HiSeq 4000. Raw fastq files were trimmed for the presence of Illumina adapter sequences using Cutadapt v1.2.1 with option -O 3 (32); the reads were further trimmed using Sickle v1.200 with a minimum window quality score of 20 (https://github.com/najoshi/sickle); reads shorter than 20 bp after trimming were removed.
