DNA-seq of Caulerpa lentillifera
Caulerpa tissue was rinsed with synthetic seawater and manually cleaned to remove debris and other cell types. This material was then blotted dry with paper towels, flash frozen in liquid nitrogen, ground to a fine powder using a pre-cooled mortar and pestle and stored at -80 C. Genomic DNA was extracted by a modified CTAB protocols for highmolecularweight DNA. gDNA samples were sequenced using BGIs cPAS and DNA nanoballs technology.
