title: Archaeal community composition of permaforst thaw ponds in subarctic Quebec: Sample K23BS_2012_mcrA
design: RNA was extracted using the AllPrep DNA/RNA Mini Kit (Qiagen). transcripts of mcrA converted to cDNA were PCR amplified using the dual indexed forward ML (5'-GGTGGTGTMGGDTTCACMCARTA-3') and reverse ML preimers (5'- TTCATTGCRTAGTTWGGRTAGTT-3'). The resulting 2 Biosamples were sequenced using illumina MiSeq technology.
