Spiophanes tcherniai
Worms were cultured at a normal temperature of -1.5C for 28 days. After 28 days, adults (n=25-30) were pooled into a sample for genomic DNA isolation. This sample was prepared for standard Illumina NGS fragment library sequencing in a single lane of a HighSeq 2500 flow cell. This species is endemic to Antarctica and its upper thermal tolerance is ~6C.
