Viruses identified in social spiders
Dead social spider samples were homogenized in SM buffer. The homogenate was filtered through 0.45 um and 0.25um syringe filter. 200 ul of the filtrate was used to extract viral DNA using the High Pure Viral Nucleic Acid Kit (Roche Diagnostics, USA). The viral DNA was used to generate 2x150bp libraries with the Nextera DNA flex kit (Illunina, USA).
