sediment metagenome and insect gut metagenome Raw sequence reads

The greenhead horse fly (Tabanus nigrovittatus) populations crashed after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the coastal marshlands of Louisiana. The greenhead horse fly is native to the coastal marshes of eastern US and its larvae are dependent on the presence of a healthy food web in the marshes.Study goals: Ultimate goal is to develop a PCR tool for identifying marsh health of the entire eastern United States.Sub goals:1. To identify the food web components of the greenhead horse fly larvae using meatgenomic analysis of larval guts and sediment.2. Identify bioindicators of marsh health in the food web by presence/absence of components.
