Additionally, suppliers must have a comprehensive DNA extraction step to compensate for varying levels of sample preservation. Due to the scarcity of these animals, we have 33 samples but we expect samples to be run in duplicate at an average coverage of x30 depth for each duplicated sample. Requirement: To aid with the above project, Cefas require DNA extraction of squid tissues in ethanol (31) and formaldehyde (2). Assessment of DNA quantity and quality (see 'Deliverables' sections) will need to…
