title: Metagenome of Mt. Erebus fumaroloes: site A surface
design: DNA was extracted from samples using a modified CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) bead-beating protocol. Extracted metagenomic DNA was frozen and sent to the sequencing facility at University of California, Davis, where paired-end libriaries were prepared and sequenced using standard protocols for the Illumina Hi-Seq platform.
