Metadata details

AAS_4406_BP_MP_2005

All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

    Description

    Sample collection:
    All soils were collected in 2005 and stored at -80˚C prior to gDNA extraction using the FastDNA SPIN kit for soil (MP Biomedicals, NSW, Australia). Three soil samples were obtained from Mitchell Peninsula (66°31'S, 110°59'E) and three were obtained from Browning Peninsula (66°27'S, 110°32'E). Samples from both sites were selected along a transect, with specific information provided below.

    Metagenome sequencing and assembly:
    Metagenomic shotgun libraries were prepared from community gDNA extractions using the Nextera DNA Flex Library Prep Kit (Illumina Inc.). Sequencing was performed on an Illumina NextSeq500 platform with 2×150bp base pair high output run chemistry and 5GB coverage per sample.
