Microbial eukaryotic focused metatranscriptome data from seawater collected in coastal California in May of 2015

Seawater was collected via Niskin bottles mounted with a CTD from the San Pedro Ocean Time-series (SPOT) station off the coast of Southern California near the surface (5 m), 150 and 890 m, in late May 2015. Raw sequence data was generated as part of a metatranscriptome study targeting the protistan community. Raw sequences are available at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Sequence Read Archive (SRA) database (SRA Study ID: SRP110974, BioProject: PRJNA391503). These data were published in Hu et al. (2018).
