Microfluidic-based mini-metagenomic sample preparation and sequencing of hot spring bacterial communities from the Yellowstone National Park

Microfluidic-based mini-metagenomics is a pipeline for processing and analyzing microbial communities from environmental samples, where each sample is divided into a number of sub-samples with lower biological complexity. The current project uses the microfluidic-based mini-metagenomic approach to analyze a number of hot spring biosamples collected from the Yellowstone National Park, from which genomes representing novel lineages are identified. The associated SRAs refer to raw sequencing reads from sub-samples derived from Yellowstone hot spring microbial communities.
