Let the sequencing begin
With only a little effort, and some very cold liquid nitrogen (-320ºF/-196ºC!!!), we have prepped and sent off 10 adult ninespotted lady beetles to the sequencing center.
Once there, the gDNA gets extracted and assessed for quality before getting put on the sequencer.
The genome assembly should get returned to us for analysis sometime next month. The Holidays will be a welcome distraction as our level of anticipation is HIGH!
Take care and don't forget to relax yourselves.
Best,
The LLP team.
