Viral fraction from Lake Needwood metagenome. freshwater metagenome

80L of lake water (Lake Needwood, MD) collected at two separate time points was purified by sequential filtration and tangential flow filtration to generate a viral fraction. RNA was purified from the viral fraction and amplified to make a DNA library using sequence independent single primer amplification method. This is the first published report of a RNA virome from a freshwater lake. The WGS projects can be found using the Project data link.
