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.本研究对侧海湾沉积物样本中的微生物群落开展宏基因组学表征，旨在鉴定这些高生产力区域内的优势微生物类群及其潜在功能。我们对来自三个不同采样点的宏基因组DNA进行了分析，总数据量近100 Gbp：其中一个采样点位于贝克湾（Baker Bay, BB），另外两个位于扬斯湾（Youngs Bays, YB）。每个宏基因组的预测基因数约为50万至90余万不等。本研究同时采用未组装宏基因组的预测小亚基核糖体RNA（SSU rRNA）序列，以及组装宏基因组得到的肽段序列对数据进行分析。
