Genomic DNA was extracted from 102 pig and wild boar isolates using an Invitrogen Easy-DNA Kit
TM (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, United States) and DNA concentrations were determined using the
Qubit dsDNA BR assay kit (Invitrogen). The genomic DNA was prepared for Illumina pair-end sequencing using the Illumina (Illumina, Inc., San Diego, CA, United States) Nextera XT
® Guide 150319425031942 following the protocol revision C
1. A sample of the pooled Nextera XT Libraries was loaded onto an Illumina
HiSeq reagent cartridge using
HiSeq Reagent Kit v2. The libraries were sequenced using an Illumina
HiSeq platform.
Raw sequence data have been submitted to the European Nucleotide Archive
2 under study accession no.: PRJEB18803. The raw reads were
de novo assembled using the assembly pipeline (version 1.0) available from the Center for Genomic Epidemiology (CGE)
3, which is based on the Velvet algorithm for
de novo short reads assembly (Zerbino and Birney, 2008 (
link)). A complete list of genomic sequence data is available in the
Supplementary Table S1.
