short read cDNA sequencing  of common myna (Acridotheres tristis)
The cDNA was quantified using an Agilent 2200 TapeStation (Agilent, California, USA) and Nanodrop spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). cDNA from three tissues (liver, heart, testes) was then prepared for sequencing using a TruSeq stranded mRNA library prep kit, and sequenced on a NextSeq 75bp PE high output sequencing run at the Ramaciotti Centre for Genomics (UNSW, Sydney, NSW).
