DNA-Seq of Photinus pyralis adult female whole body: FF006
DNA was extracted from specimens using Qiagen DNeasy Blood and Tissue kits. Samples were submitted for amplicon sequencing of the V3-V4 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene. Library preparation was performed in the Ravenscraft Lab at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA) and sequencing at the UTA Life Science Core Facility, with paired-end 444 bp sequencing reactions on multiplexed samples on an Illumina MiSeq instrument.
