title: 16S (V4) metabarcoding analysis of skin of Cephalorhynchus eutropia and Lagenorhynchus australis
design: The V4 hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene was amplified from the extracted DNA using the barcoded dual-index primers. Preparation of libraries and paired end (2 x 150 bp) Illumina MiSeq sequencing was conducted at Argonne National Laboratory (Lemont, U.S.A.).
