title: Raw PacBio read data  for the Southern Ground Hornbill (Bucorvus leadbeateri) - includes both raw and HiFi reads
design: The DNA concentration of the sample was evaluated using the Qubit dsDNA HS Assay Kit (Life Technologies) and sample quality was determined using NANODROP 2000 (ThermoFisher Scientific). The initial 260/230 value was sub-optimal (260/230=1.52); to improve sample quality the sample was cleaned using DNeasy PowerClean Pro cleanup kit (Qiagen). The size of gDNA was determined using electrophoresis (E-Gel SizeSelect 2% Agarose Gel; Invitrogen), which revealed a fluorescent band > 15Kb. The sample was then sheared using the Covaris G-tube (Covaris Inc.) and the average size of the sample verified (Table 1) using the Agilent 2100 Bioanalyzer (Agilent Technologies). Approximately 1 g of gDNA was used as input for library preparation using SMRTbell Express Template Prep Kit 2.0 (Pacific Biosciences).
