Abstract
Bionano genome map protocol
The Bionano genome maps were prepared by taking approximately Amount10 mg of DNA (in this case extracted from a polecat) from the sample stored in 100% EtOH.

The IrysPrep Animal Tissue DNA Isolation from Fibrous Tissue protocol was followed using the IrysPrep Animal Tissue DNA kit (RE-013-10) from Bionano Genomics.
The animal tissue sample was cut up into <3mm pieces for homogenisation and then fixed in a 2% formaldehyde solution in kit-provided Homogenisation Buffer (HB) for Duration00:30:00 TemperatureOn ice before blending using a Qiagen Tissueruptor.

Spin at 1500x g for Duration00:05:00 in centrifuge, remove supernatant and resuspend in around Amount50 µL of HB buffer using wide bore tip to produce a total volume of Amount66 µL .

Amount40 µL of LMP agarose was then melted at Temperature70 °C and cooled to Temperature43 °C before addition to the cell resuspension and mixing using a wide bore tip.

One plug of around Amount90 µL was cast using the Chef Mammalian Genomic DNA Plug Kit (Bio-Rad 170-3591).

Once cooled to Temperature4 °C the plug was added to a lysis solution containing Amount200 µL proteinase K (QIAGEN 158920) and Amount2.5 mL of Bionano lysis Buffer.

This was incubated at Temperature50 °C for Duration02:00:00 in a thermomixer, making a fresh proteinase K solution and incubating DurationOvernight .

The Amount50 mL tubes were then removed from the thermomixer for Duration00:05:00 before Amount50 µL RNAse A (Qiagen158924) was added and to the tubes, returned to the thermomixer for a further hour at Temperature37 °C .

The plugs were then washed 7 times in the Wash Buffer supplied with the Chef kit and 7 times in 1xTE.
The plug was removed and melted for Duration00:02:00 at Temperature70 °C followed by Duration00:05:00 at Temperature43 °C before adding Amount10 µL of 0.2U/µl of GELase (Cambio Ltd G31200).

After Duration00:45:00 at Temperature43 °C the melted plug was dialysed on a Amount0.1 uM membrane (Millipore VCWP04700) sitting in Amount15 mL of 1xTE buffer in a small petri dish.

After Duration00:45:00 the sample was removed with a wide bore tip and mixed gently Duration00:45:00 and left DurationOvernight at Temperature4 °C . A small amount was removed to QC on an Opgen Argus Q-Card and Qubit HS to calculate the DNA concentration.

Amount300 ng of DNA was taken into the NLRS (Nick, Label, Repair and Stain) reaction using Amount1 µL Nt.BspQI (NEB R0644S). The optical maps were then generated using the Bionano Irys platform.
