Illumina paired end whole genome sequencing of an adult white-tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus

We sequenced the genome of the white-tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus. Genomic DNA was extracted from a blood sample of a single female deer, aged 4.5 years, from Pennsylvania, USA. The library was prepared using a NEB DNA library kit, and sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform. The reads were trimmed of adapter sequences using Trimmomatic.

本研究完成了白尾鹿（Odocoileus virginianus）的基因组测序工作。实验所用的基因组DNA提取自美国宾夕法尼亚州一只4.5岁的雌性白尾鹿的血液样本。测序文库采用NEB DNA文库制备试剂盒构建，并在Illumina HiSeq 2500测序平台上完成上机测序。使用Trimmomatic工具对测序读段进行接头序列的修剪处理。
