Microbial community from coral

Microbes were collected from whole Porites compressa tissue extracts taken directly off the reef at the Hawai'i Marine Laboratory Refuge Point Reef (21.434025, -157.787822) on February 23, 2006. Corals were collected 3 meters apart and at 3 meters depth and rinsed extensively in filtered autoclaved seawater before processing. Metagenome consists of 45 amplified coral microbe DNA samples combined in equal amounts for sequencing at 454 Life Sciences. 454 sequence data is available from the Short Read Archive (SRA): SRA000452. Metagenomics SEED ID: 4440380.3 Nature paper ID: 50 The WGS project can be found using the Project data link.
