Genome of Greenland shark (Somniosus microcephalus): adult retina
A draft genome was sequenced for the Greenland shark, S. microcephalus. Briefly, DNA was extracted from frozen retinal tissue from 2 adult specimens using Zymo Quick-DNA Miniprep Plus kit. DNA quality was assessed on an Agilent TapeStation and library preparation and sequencing was performed by the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering (ETH Zurich). Individual libraries were prepared using NEBNext Ultra II FS DNA Library Prep kit (Illumina) with 150-bp insert size, pooled, and sequenced as 150-bp paired-end reads on an Illumina NovaSeq6000 with an SP flow cell (300 cycles).
