Puget Sound Microbial Metagenomes. marine metagenome

The aim of this project was to profile the diversity and potential functionality of surface water microbial communities at various locations in Puget Sound. Of particular interest were metagenomic signals of relevance to public health monitoring that can be detected using next generation sequencing technologies. Metagenomic samples collected from surface waters at 6 locations in Puget Sound. 0.2-3um size fraction. 454-pyrosequenced.
