Marine microbial eukaryote transcriptomes

<strong>Overview</strong> This repository provides assemblies of publicly available short read (Illumina 50bp PE) datasets of marine microbial eukaryotes. The raw data were generated by the Marine Microbial Eukaryote Transcriptome Sequencing Project (http://marinemicroeukaryotes.org/). This project provides its own set of assemblies (generated using the Abyss assembler). Since our work-flows are geared towards assemblies generated by the Trinity assembler, raw data were obtained from the following website http://marinemicroeukaryotes.org/ and assembled using Trinity (http://trinityrnaseq.sourceforge.net/) For our purposes the raw data were directly assembled using Trinity (see README for version number) using the default settings. Several species/strains were assembled using all available Illumina libraries combined (see README). The identifiers of the raw data are provided and culture conditions of the organisms can be retrieved from http://marinemicroeukaryotes.org/ using the MMETSP ID (see README for list). <strong>If you use these data please cite</strong> Keeling, P.J. et al., 2014.
