1- HOT_ITS_to_MDA_mapping_final.xls

This file maps between the ITS sequence name and the MDA sequence name.
ITS sequence names are described by their well in the ITS sanger sequencing plates (96-well plates)
MDA sequence names are described by their well in the MDA reactions plates (384-well plates)

ITS sequence name format for BATS sequences is as follows:

for example:

>H212_100m_598_G08

i.e. HOT cruise 212 100m depth sample, ITS plate that end with "598" (the 6 digit number in either column 1 or column 2), well G08.
To find the relavant MDA well use the mapping file ITS_to_MDA_mapping_final.xls
In this example the MDA well is thus plate 818 well L22.
