title: 18S rRNA gene Seqences  of Arachis hypogaea root-associated fungal communities in the Senegalese peanut basin, Senegal
design: Total genomic DNA was extracted from Arachis hypogaea roots. Amplification of the 18S 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.
