Whole-genome sequencing of Manis aurita
Genomic DNA was extracted from tissue samples using the Qiagen DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit according to the manufacturers protocol. DNA was randomly fragmented to an average insert size of ~350 bp, followed by end repair, A-tailing, and adapter ligation. The libraries were amplified by PCR and sequenced as paired-end reads on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform.
