Sequencing libraries were prepared using a modified protocol for the Nextera XT DNA library preparation kit (Illumina Inc., San Diego, Ca, USA). Briefly, genomic DNA was fragmented, followed by the amplification of Nextera XT indices (Illumina Inc.) to the DNA fragments using a low-cycle PCR reaction. Subsequently, the amplicon library was manually purified and normalised.
