MalaMix dataset: contextual and metabarcoding data ...

1. INTRODUCTION MalaMix is a compiled metabarcoding dataset composed of 451 marine samples collected from a range of depths - from the surface (3m) to deep waters (as far down as 4800m). This dataset covers three ocean layers: the epi- (0-200m – including DCM), meso- (200-1000m) and bathypelagic (10...

Description
Summary:1. INTRODUCTION MalaMix is a compiled metabarcoding dataset composed of 451 marine samples collected from a range of depths - from the surface (3m) to deep waters (as far down as 4800m). This dataset covers three ocean layers: the epi- (0-200m – including DCM), meso- (200-1000m) and bathypelagic (1000-4000m). MalaMix combines samples obtained during two oceanographic expeditions with similar sampling strategies: i) the Malaspina-2010 global expedition that produced 263 samples collected between December 2010 and July 2011 from 120 stations distributed along the tropical and subtropical portions (latitudes between 35° N and 40° S) of the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans; and ii) the HotMix trans-Mediterranean cruise that produced 188 samples collected between April and May 2014 in 29 stations distributed along the whole Mediterranean Sea (from -5° W to 33° E) and the adjacent Northeast Atlantic Ocean. MalaMix comprises: a 16S-V4V5 rRNA gene ASV table (MalaMix_16S.csv); an 18S-V4 rRNA gene ASV table ...
