454 pyrotags for Eukaryote taxa in deep hypersaline anoxic basin (DHAB) halocline sediments collected on R/V Atlantis cruise AT18-14 in the Eastern Mediterranean (35.3 N, 21.7 E) in 2011

<p>Pyrotags of eukaryotes obtained from Urania, Discovery, and L’Atalante DHAB halocline sediments.</p>

<p>Small subunit ribosomal RNA V4 hyper variable region eukaryotic pyrotags prepared from total RNA extracted from sediments below haloclines of 3 deep hypersaline anoxic basins in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and from nearby control sites (normal saline deep marine sediments in close proximity to deep hypersaline anoxic basins). Total RNA was transcribed to cDNA, and eukaryotic V4 pyrotags amplified from cDNA.</p>
