Soil microbe metagenome sequences (DP1.10107.001)

Abstract: This data product contains the quality-controlled laboratory metadata and minimally processed sequence data from NEON's soil microbial shotgun metagenomics sequencing. Typically, measurements are done on plot-level composite samples and represent up to three randomly selected sampling locations within a plot. For additional details, see the user guide, protocols, and science design listed in the Documentation section in this data product's details webpage. Queries for the basic data product package will return metadata tables that include laboratory methods and results from DNA extraction, sample preparation, and DNA sequencing for samples from the specified sites and within the specified date range. Queries for the expanded package will also include a table containing links to the raw sequence data files. Some of the sequence data are also publicly available and may be queried on the [Metagenomics Rapid Annotation using Subsystem Technology (MG-RAST)](http://metagenomics.anl.gov/) server. Note that there may be lags between publication of data on the NEON data portal and availability of sequence data on the public sequence repository. Latency: The expected time from data and/or sample collection in the field to data publication is as follows, for each of the data tables (in days) in the downloaded data package.
