WGS of True's beaked whale (Mesoplodon mirus)
Genomic DNA was fragmented to 350 bp using the M220 Focused-Ultrasonicator (Covaris) following the manufacturers protocol, and fragmentation verification and DNA quantification followed on the Agilent 2200 TapeStation. Libraries were prepared using the New England Biolabs NEBNext Ultra II Library Preparation Kits at Smithsonian NMNH Laboratory for Analytical Biology (LAB). Libraries were sequenced paired-end 150 bp using two lanes on the Illumina HiSeq 4000 platform at the New York Genome Center (NYGC).
