Lateral Bay Sediment Metagenome. sediment metagenome

Metagenomic characterization of microbial communities in lateral bay sediment samples was carried out to identify the dominant microbial taxa and their potential functions in these productive regions. We analyzed nearly 100 Gbp of metagenomic DNA from three disparate sites - one in Baker (BB) and two in Youngs Bays (YB). Predicted gene counts ranged from approximately half a million, to over 900 thousand per metagenome. The data were analyzed using both predicted SSU rRNA sequences from unassembled metagenomes, and peptides from assembled metagenomes.
