“…Second, a preparation of 4 μL 5× SuperScript IV reaction buffer (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA), 2 μL dithiothreitol (DTT), 200 units SuperScript IV reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen), 40 units RNaseOUT (Invitrogen), and 1 μL NFW was made, and the two preparations were mixed and incubated at 25°C for 10 min, at 50°C for 10 min, and at 80°C for 10 min. The Illumina Nextera DNA Flex kit (paired-end reads, 300 cycles) was used for library preparation, followed by sequencing on a MiSeq benchtop sequencer, as described previously ( 12 ). Read trimming and quality filtering (fastp v0.20.0 [ 13 ]) were followed by genome assembly (SPAdes v3.13.2 [ 14 ]) and multiple sequence alignments (MAFFT v7.313 [ 15 ]).…”
