Metagenomic and metatranscriptomic sequencing of Quoyloo Meadow sediment

Metagenomic and metatranscriptomic sequencing of sediment horizons extracted from Quoyloo Meadow, Orkney. Samples were extracted immediately on-site and sequenced, extracted on-site , frozen and sequenced later and from sediment that was extracted, stored for 10 weeks and sequencing performed after storage to investigate the effect of storage on the microbiome.
