uncultured assembled phages from Mediterranean metagenomes. viral metagenome

Individual assembly of a collection of 24 metagenomes representing a broad range of geographical and ecological biomes from the Mediterranean Sea gave 1,323 viral genomic fragments longer than 10kb in length, of which 36 represented complete viral genomes. Samples analysed were taken from six sampling sites from the Eastern and Western Mediterranean and varied by depth (15 to 3,500 m), filter pore size, and season (stratified or mixed). Metagenomic datasets used are available under BioProjects accession number PRJNA352798 (Med-OCT2015-15m, Med-OCT2015-30m, Med-OCT2015-45m, Med-OCT2015-60m, Med-OCT2015-75m, Med-OCT2015-90m, Med-OCT2015-1000m and Med-OCT2015-2000m) and PRJNA257723 (MedDCM-JUL2012, MedDCM-SEP2013, MedDCM-SEP2013-LF, MedWinter-DEC2013-20m, Med-SEP2014-15m, Med-SEP2014-30m, MedDCM-SEP2014, MedWinter-JAN2015-20m, MedWinter-JAN2015-20m-LF, MedWinter-JAN2015-80m, MedWinter-JAN2015-Coastal and Med-SEP2015_HS).
