title: metatranscriptome dataset of Med-OCT-2015-90m
design: Water was collected and filtered through a series of polycarbonate filters, a 20 micron prefilter, 5 micron (for large cells and eukaryotes) and 0.22 (for planktonic microbes). RNA was extracted from the 0.22 micron filter (small, planktonic fraction) to obtain total RNA of the microbial community. RNA was later retrotranscribed to cDNA and sequenced.
