Genome sequencing of Eumops glaucinus floridanus: adult male patagium
DNA was isolated from a recently deceased bonneted bat collected from Avon Park by FWC biologists. This bat was selected for sequencing due to the availability of large amounts of tissue (relative to wing punches). DNA was isolated in February 2021 using a standard DNA isolation kit (DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit, QIAGEN) and kept at -80C. Prior to storage DNA was quantified using the PicoGreen dsDNA quantitation assay to ensure sufficient high molecular weight DNA (> 100nM) was available for whole genome shotgun sequencing.
