title: WGS-Seq of Sciurus carolinensis: adult ear tissue
design: We extracted genomic DNA from a 1 to 2cm piece of tissue (or 10L of blood) from squirrel samples using the Qiagen DNEasy Blood & Tissue kit, generally following the manufacturers protocol (Qiagen, Inc., Valencia, CA), with the addition of a RNAse treatment and final elution volume of 200L (with modifications as found in Fusco et al., 2021).
