Genome sequencing of Rathayibacter: strain AY1B8
DNA was extracted using the DNeasy Blood and Tissue kits (QIAGEN, Valencia, California), following instructions for Gram-positive bacteria. A NanoDrop ND-1000 UV-Vis Spectrophotometer and Qubit 2.0 fluorometer (ThermoFisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) were used to measure the quality and quantity, respectively, of the DNA. Libraries were prepared, using the Illumina Nextera XT library preparation protocol and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 3000 by the Center for Genome Research and Biocomputing (CGRB at Oregon State University; Illumina Inc., San Diego, CA, USA).
