title: Haloarchaeal communities in hypersaline brines from the deep subsurface encode the genomic potential for chemolithoautotrophy
design: Sequencing was performed by Edinburgh Genomics on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 (Illumina, San Diego, USA) using paired-end sequencing for 2 x 150 cycles. DNA fragmentation and library preparation was performed using NEBNext Ultra II FS DNA library Prep Kit (NEB#E6177). Adapter ligation was conducted using NEBNext Multiplex Oligos for Illumina (NEB#E6440S) following the manufacturers protocol.
