description: This sample was generated by pooling approximate equal amounts of gDNA from 10 adult mountain pine beetles (MPB) from Kananaskis, Alberta.  Individual beetle was collected in a 2mL tube, flash-frozen in Liquid Nitrogen and stored at -80C until extraction.  The DNA from each beetle was extracted individually using CTAB-chloroform extraction method.
