Metabarcoding reveals a high diversity of woody host-associated Phytophthora spp. in soils at public gardens and amenity woodlands in Britain

This is the demultiplexed Illumina MiSeq raw sequencing data from two 96-well plates from the following recent publication, shared with permission of the corresponding author, Sarah Green: Riddell <em>et al.</em> (2019). Metabarcoding reveals a high diversity of woody host-associated <em>Phytophthora</em> spp. in soils at public gardens and amenity woodlands in Britain. https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.6931<br> <br> It consists of 244 gzipped compressed plain text FASTQ format sequence files, grouped into 122 pairs by the widely used R1 and R2 suffix. The files have been renamed to use the anonymised site numbers (1 to 14) as in the paper, see also supplementary table one for site metadata. Additionally there are two negative controls, and positive control DNA mixtures of 10 and 15 species as described in the paper.<br>
