Sphaeromyxa zaharoni 100 bp PE reads
Four large Sphaeromyxa zaharoni plasmodia were removed intact from the gall bladder of infected devil firefish Pterois miles (Bennett, 1828) (NPA collection permit 2010/37891). All samples were fixed in 100% ethanol or RNA later and kept at -20 C until DNA extraction.  DNA was extracted using the Qiagen DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit following manufacturer instructions. The samples were sent for a library construction and sequencing to the Genome Sequencing & Analysis Core Resource of Duke University (Durham, NC). Paired-end sequencing of 100 bp reads, derived from fragments with a median length of 230 bp, was performed on a HiSeq 2000 platform.
