Viral metagenome prepared from Tripneustes gratilla (collector urchin) tissues
Viruses were prepared from gonad tissues of the hawaiian collector urchin, Tripneustes gratilla, following the Filter-Chloroform-Nuclease approach of Ng et al.2011. After extraction, viral nucleic acids were prepared using the Zymo Viral DNA kit, and then DNA was amplified using the Sigma Genomeplex WGA2 kit.
