TELL-Seq sheep metagenome: fecal material
A fecal sample was taken from a young (<1 year old) wether lamb of the Katahdin breed. DNA was extracted in small batches from approximately 0.5 g per batch using the QIAamp PowerFecal DNA Kit, as suggested by the manufacturer (Qiagen), with moderate bead beating. 5ng DNA was used to construct TELL-Seq WGS libraries based on manufacturer's user guide for large genome library preparation (Universal Sequencing Technology). These libraries were sequenced as 2x150 paired end reads on a NovaSeq instrument.
