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.
