GSS WGS Silky Shark
One adult individual was captured and euthanized by fishermen near Playa Palo de Santa Rita Sur (24.1414 N, 110.3417 W), La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico. The specimen was retrieved from fishermen and transported to the Laboratorio de Organismos Acuaticos, Instituto de Ciencias del Mar y Limnologia (ICMyL), Universidad Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM). Muscle was extracted from the specimen with forceps, and the tissue was immediately preserved in 95% ethyl alcohol. Total genomic DNA (gDNA) was extracted from muscle tissue using an EZNA Genomic DNA Purification kit (Omega Bio-Tek, Norcross, GA). The gDNA sample was then transported to the Georgia Genomics and Bioinformatics Core, University of Georgia, Athens, GA, USA, where library preparation and Illumina paired-end shotgun sequencing were carried out. An Illumina library was prepared by shearing ~1 g of gDNA (using a Covaris instrument) following the standard protocol of the Illumina Truseq DNA Library Preparation kit using a multiplex identifier adaptor index (Illumina). Illumina sequencing was conducted on a MiSeq v2 platform using 2  500 cycle to produce 250 pb paired-end reads.
