Prokaryotic metagenome-assembled genomes retrieved from Amazon river basin water samples metagenomes sequenced in Illumina platform. Metagenome-Assembled Genomes from Amazon river basin

Amazon river basin is one of the largest freshwater basins in the world. This ecosystem is poorly understood. Recently some of these studies of this basin involved deep coverage metagenomes using Illumina technology. These 106 metagenomes, deposited in NCBI under projects numbers SRP044326 and SRP039390 and under ENA project number PRJEB25171, were used to generate 30 reads co-assemblies. These co-assemblies were binned through MetaBAT software into metagenome-assembled genomes. Then, they were further refined with software refineM. About 26 Medium- and 25 High-quality metagenome-assembled genomes were retrieved from Amazon river basin in this study and are here reported. Their taxonomy was made using marker sets available from CheckM software and was further confirmed by 16S taxonomy when it was available.
