title: Raw short read Illumina data for the Southern Ground Hornbill (Bucorvus leadbeateri) - 2 x 150 bp
design: The initial concentration of DNA was evaluated using the Qubit dsDNA HS assay kit (Life Technologies) and cleaned using the DNeasy PowerClean Pro kit (Qiagen). 50 ng of DNA was used to prepare the library using Illumina DNA Prep Tagmentation library preparation kit (Limmunia) following the manufacturer's user guide. The sample underwent simultaneous fragmentation and addition of adapter sequences. Following library prep, the final concentration of the library was measured using  the Qubit dsDNA HS assay kit (Life Technologies)  and the average library size (734 bp) was determined using the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies). The library was then sequenced pair-end for 300 cucles using the NovaSeq 6000 system (Illumina)
