        <gco:CharacterString>Dataset Description: This dataset is a raw output operational taxonomic unit (OTU) table generated by processing and clustering raw 18S rRNA gene tag sequences from extracted DNA and RNA. Columns represent samples, including month sampled, material (either extracted RNA or DNA), and depth (in meters); thus values in each column represent the number of sequences in that sample that belong to a given OTU (OTUs by row). Each row represents a single OTU. The last column lists the taxonomic identifier assigned to each OTU. The raw sequence data can be found in the NCBI SRA database under accession number SRP070577 with the associated BioProject PRJNA311248.  

Metadata for these sequences can be found in the dataset:
”18S rRNA gene tag sequences from DNA and RNA&amp;quot;: https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/745527 Methods and Sampling: &amp;lt;p&amp;gt;These data were published in Hu et al., 2016.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;This dataset is a raw output&amp;amp;nbsp;operational taxonomic unit (OTU) table generated by processing and clustering raw 18S rRNA gene tag sequences from DNA and RNA. The numbers in each column represent the number of sequences from that sample belonging to a given OTU (row), with the last column listing the taxonomic ID assigned to each OTU.&amp;amp;nbsp;The raw sequence data can be found in the NCBI SRA database under accession number&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/SRP070577&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;SRP070577&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;with the associated&amp;amp;nbsp;BioProject&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov//bioproject/PRJNA311248&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;PRJNA311248&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.&amp;amp;nbsp; Metadata for these sequences can be found in the dataset:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
”18S rRNA gene tag sequences from DNA and RNA&amp;quot;: https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/745527&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Nucleotide bases with a Q score lower than 20 for the last 30 bp of each sequence were trimmed. Paired-end sequences were merged using FLASh (Magoc and Salzberg 2011) with a minimum of 10 bp and maximum of 150 bp overlap between each sequence pair. Sequences shorter than 350 bp, longer than 460 bp, or which had an average quality score lower than 25 were discarded using QIIME v1.8 (Caporaso &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;et al&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;. 2010). Chimeric sequences were identified and removed, by either &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;de novo &amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;or reference-based chimera checking (identify chimeric seqs.py in QIIME, intersection method).&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The code release v2 associated with this version of the dataset can be downloaded as a .zip file from the Supplemental&amp;amp;nbsp;Documents section of this page. Future code updates will be accessible from the GitHub repository&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://github.com/shu251/V4_tagsequencing_18Sdiversity_q1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://github.com/shu251/V4_tagsequencing_18Sdiversity_q1&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;</gco:CharacterString>

                            <gco:CharacterString>&lt;p&gt;Planktonic marine microbial communities consist of a diverse collection of bacteria, archaea, viruses, protists (phytoplankton and protozoa) and small animals (metazoan). Collectively, these species are responsible for virtually all marine pelagic primary production where they form the basis of food webs and carry out a large fraction of respiratory processes. Microbial interactions include the traditional role of predation, but recent research recognizes the importance of parasitism, symbiosis and viral infection. Characterizing the response of pelagic microbial communities and processes to environmental influences is fundamental to understanding and modeling carbon flow and energy utilization in the ocean, but very few studies have attempted to study all of these assemblages in the same study. This project is comprised of long-term (monthly) and short-term (daily) sampling at the San Pedro Ocean Time-series (SPOT) site. Analysis of the resulting datasets investigates co-occurrence patterns of microbial taxa (e.g. protist-virus and protist-prokaryote interactions, both positive and negative) indicating which species consistently co-occur and potentially interact, followed by examination gene expression to help define the underlying mechanisms. This study augments 20 years of baseline studies of microbial abundance, diversity, rates at the site, and will enable detection of low-frequency changes in composition and potential ecological interactions among microbes, and their responses to changing environmental forcing factors. These responses have important consequences for higher trophic levels and ocean-atmosphere feedbacks. The broader impacts of this project include training graduate and undergraduate students, providing local high school student with summer lab experiences, and PI presentations at local K-12 schools, museums, aquaria and informal learning centers in the region. Additionally, the PIs advise at the local, county and state level regarding coastal marine water quality.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This research project is unique in that it is a holistic study (including all microbes from viruses to small metazoa) of microbial species diversity and ecological activities, carried out at the SPOT site off the coast of southern California. In studying all microbes simultaneously, this work aims to identify important ecological interactions among microbial species, and identify the basis(es) for those interactions. This research involves (1) extensive analyses of prokaryote (archaean and bacterial) and eukaryote (protistan and micro-metazoan) diversity via the sequencing of marker genes, (2) studies of whole-community gene expression by eukaryotes and prokaryotes in order to identify key functional characteristics of microorganismal groups and the detection of active viral infections, and (3) metagenomic analysis of viruses and bacteria to aid interpretation of transcriptomic analyses using genome-encoded information. The project includes exploratory metatranscriptomic analysis of poorly-understood aphotic and hypoxic-zone protists, to examine their stratification, functions and hypothesized prokaryotic symbioses.&lt;/p&gt;</gco:CharacterString>

                <gco:CharacterString>&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;These data were published in Hu et al., 2016.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;This dataset is a raw output&amp;amp;nbsp;operational taxonomic unit (OTU) table generated by processing and clustering raw 18S rRNA gene tag sequences from DNA and RNA. The numbers in each column represent the number of sequences from that sample belonging to a given OTU (row), with the last column listing the taxonomic ID assigned to each OTU.&amp;amp;nbsp;The raw sequence data can be found in the NCBI SRA database under accession number&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/SRP070577&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;SRP070577&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;amp;nbsp;with the associated&amp;amp;nbsp;BioProject&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov//bioproject/PRJNA311248&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;u&amp;gt;PRJNA311248&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.&amp;amp;nbsp; Metadata for these sequences can be found in the dataset:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;
”18S rRNA gene tag sequences from DNA and RNA&amp;quot;: https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/745527&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Nucleotide bases with a Q score lower than 20 for the last 30 bp of each sequence were trimmed. Paired-end sequences were merged using FLASh (Magoc and Salzberg 2011) with a minimum of 10 bp and maximum of 150 bp overlap between each sequence pair. Sequences shorter than 350 bp, longer than 460 bp, or which had an average quality score lower than 25 were discarded using QIIME v1.8 (Caporaso &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;et al&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;. 2010). Chimeric sequences were identified and removed, by either &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;de novo &amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;or reference-based chimera checking (identify chimeric seqs.py in QIIME, intersection method).&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

Future code updates will be accessible from the GitHub repository&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;https://github.com/shu251/V4_tagsequencing_18Sdiversity_q1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://github.com/shu251/V4_tagsequencing_18Sdiversity_q1&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;</gco:CharacterString>

The SBE 911 plus includes the SBE 9plus Underwater Unit and the SBE 11plus Deck Unit (for real-time readout using conductive wire) for deployment from a vessel. The combination of the SBE 9 plus and SBE 11 plus is called a SBE 911 plus. The SBE 9 plus uses Sea-Bird's standard modular temperature and conductivity sensors (SBE 3 plus and SBE 4). The SBE 9 plus CTD can be configured with up to eight auxiliary sensors to measure other parameters including dissolved oxygen, pH, turbidity, fluorescence, light (PAR), light transmission, etc.). more information from Sea-Bird Electronics Community Standard Description: http://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/L22/current/TOOL0058/</gco:CharacterString>
