Spatial and seasonal distribution of selected nitrogen cycle genes in deep waters of the Baltic Proper

The dataset provides information on nitrogen cycle related bins and gene characteristics across selected depths within the IDEAL, P1, and BY15 sites in the Baltic Sea. The dataset includes details such as gene spans, gene lengths, gene names, and the processes to which each gene is assigned. Additionally, it contains raw read counts, RPKM (reads per kilobase of transcript, per million mapped reads), family, phylum, bin, site, common bin identifiers for sites, and seasonal variations. Bin parameters, along with lineage-specific markers, are included to estimate the completeness of the bins. We focused on nitrogen loss processes (denitrification, anammox), reduction processes (dissimilatory nitrate reduction (DNR), dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium (DNRA)), and oxidation (nitrification). The reported results were obtained within the framework of the statutory activities of the Institute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the following research project: 2019/34/E/ST10/00217 funded by the Polish National Science Centre.
