Magnetic beads, a particularly effective novel method for extraction of NGS-ready DNA from macroalgae

Highlights:
• Magnetic bead extraction is an efficient method to obtain DNA from macroalgae.
• It yields better DNA quality and quantity versus with column-based kits and CTAB.
• Generation of RAD-Seq data from 12 Ulva samples.
• RAD-Seq data on Ulva species allows for high discriminatory power versus barcoding.
