2- BATS_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:

>B245a_520_F02_p18

i.e. BATS cruise 245a, MDA plate 520, ITS plate 18 well F02.
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 520 well O2.
