Characterising the skin microbiome of European common frog (Rana temporaria) from populations with and without a history of ranavirosis.

This project aimed to assess whether a history of disease associated with emerging viral pathogens belonging to the genus Ranavirus is predictive of the structure and composition of the amphibian skin microbiome. We used 16S amplicon deep sequencing techniques to characterise the microbiomes of frogs from populations with and without a history of acute ranaviral disease. The reads archived here and the raw unprocessed sequencing reads generated from skin samples of each individual frog.本研究旨在评估与蛙病毒属（Ranavirus）新发病毒病原体相关的疾病病史，是否可预测两栖动物皮肤微生物组（amphibian skin microbiome）的结构与组成。本研究采用16S扩增子深度测序（16S amplicon deep sequencing）技术，对有急性蛙病毒病病史与无该病史的蛙类种群的皮肤微生物组进行表征分析。本文存档于此的测序读段，即为从每只蛙类个体皮肤样本中获取的原始未处理测序读段。
