title: gyrB gene Seqences  of bulk soil bacterial communities in the Senegalese peanut basin, Senegal
design: Total genomic DNA was extracted from bulk soils. Amplification of the gyrB rRNA regions was performed using a PCR approach specifically designed for Illumina instruments. The PCR reaction was purified and barcoded amplicons were pooled in equimolar concentration for sequencing on the illumina Miseq platform.
