Metagenome and metatranscriptome data for Rifle CMT-03 laboratory microcosm experiment completed in April 2014

Sediment samples were collected during installation of monitoring borehole CMT-03. Microcosms were constructed and inoculated under anerobic conditions with these sediments and anaerobic Rifle artificial groundwater. Microcosm metagenomes and metatranscriptomes were sampled every 5 days for a period of 20 days. The dataset gives gene-level annotations, binning, metagenomic and metatranscriptomic coverages for these microcosms.
