Description

RBG Kew wishes to appoint a supplier to sequence whole genomic DNA from over 2000 silver birch (Betula pendula) trees to 20X genome coverage. Betula pendula has a genome size of 440 Mbp, so 20X coverage is ~9Gbp of sequence read data.

DNA extractions from either dried leaf material or cambium tissues will be performed at RGB Kew, and DNA from each sample will be provided in individually labelled 2ml Eppendorf tubes. We will also send 20 spare samples in case some DNA is degraded.
