Illumina NovaSeq 6000 of Pocillopora meandrina genome
High Molecular Weight DNA was extracted from the coral fragments that had been snap frozen and stored at -80C. A small piece was clipped off using clippers sterilized in 10% bleach, deionized water, and ethanol. The fragment was ground to a powder on liquid nitrogen using a mortar and pestle. DNA was extracted using the QIAGEN Genomic-tip 100/G kit (cat #10223) according to manufacturer's instructions  and resuspended in TE buffer. DNA quantity (ng_L) was measured with a ThermoFisher Qubit Fluorometer Broad-range kit, DNA quality was assessed using gel electrophoresis and with an Agilent TapeStation System. DNA was send to DNA Link Sequencing Lab (https://www.dnalinkseqlab.com) for sequencing on their Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform.
