The effect of dissolved copper and nickel on the adult coral Acropora muricata and its microbiome

The data describes the microbiome community of the coral Acropora mucricata following exposure to nickel and copper (separately) for 4 days under controlled laboratory conditions\nLineage: Amplicon libraries were prepared for sequencing using TruSeq PCR-free kit. The libraries were run as two separate Illumina® Miseq sequencing runs, 2x 250bp for 16SrDNA and 2x 150bp for 18SrDNA. Sequenced data were processed using a custom pipeline (Greenfield Hybrid Amplicon Pipeline, GHAP) which is based on USEARCH tools (Edgar, 2013). The pipeline is available at https://doi.org/10.4225/08/59f98560eba25.
