design: DNA was extracted using the Qiagen DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit, following the manufacturers protocol for Gram-postive species. Samples were prepared for whole genome sequencing using the Illumina DNA Prep tagmentation kit and unique dual indexes. Sequencing was performed on the Illumina NextSeq2000 platform using a 300 cycle flow cell kit to produce 2x150bp paired reads. 1-2% PhiX control was spiked into the run to support optimal base calling. Read demultiplexing, read trimming, and run analytics were performed using DRAGEN v3.10.12.
