Samples were collected by collaborators, cryopreserved and shipped frozen to Bigelow Laboratory Single Cell Genomics Facility Center (SCGC). Cells were sorted, identified and sequenced by the SCGC, following SCGC’s standard practices: https://scgc.bigelow.org/PDFs/SCGC_Services_Description.pdf

On average, at least 5 million 2x150 bp or longer paired-end reads were generated per SAG using in-house MiSeq and with a NextSeq (Illumina) instruments. The obtained reads are were pre-processed and, de novo assembled, and quality-controlled using algorithms SCGC's standard protocols that are optimized for single cell MDA products . A combination of tetramer homogeneity tests and blast searches against reference databases is were used to detect potential DNA contaminants among the assembled contigs. Benchmark data demonstrating SCGC SAG WGS whole genome sequencing pipeline performance are available here: from the SCGC website: http://data.bigelow.org/~scgc/WGS_benchmark_data/.

Genome annotation was performed through IMG (http://img-stage.jgi-psf.org/cgi-bin/submit/main.cgi).
