Sequencing the bacterial metatranscriptome associated with the marine sponge Crambe crambe

Crambe crambe was sampled from the Western Mediterranean and immediately presserved in RNA later. Total RNA was extracted en rRNA and eukaryotic mRNA were removed and the remaining bacterial mRNA (and unremoved rRNAs and eukaryotic mRNAs) were sequenced with the Illumina HiSeq using paired end sequencing.
