RNA-seq of soil sample
300 ng DNA was used to prepare libraries by utilizing the Illumina DNA Prep Reagent Kit (Cat#20018705) and an automated liquid handler (epMotion 5075) according to the Illumina DNA Prep Reference Guide (1000000025416). The prepared DNA libraries underwent paired-end (2 x 150 bp) sequencing using the Illumina NextSeq550 platform (Illumina, San Diego, CA, USA).
