Libraries were prepared from 0.5, 1, or 10 ng bacterial DNA. Data was generated on a HiSeq 2500 Rapid Run (2 × 151 bp) and data analysis performed using BWA aligner application on BaseSpace and SAMtools. Fragment size was determined by Bioanalyzer. Insert size was determined during sequencing. CV Coefficient of variation. GC Guanine-cytosine
