title: Metagenome of seawater: nSM
design: Shotgun metagenomic libraries were prepared using the Illumina Nextera XT DNA Library Preparation Kit. A total of 9 samples were processed for dsDNA shotgun library preparation. Sequencing was carried out on an Illumina NovaSeq X platform using a 2  150 bp paired-end protocol. Approximately 900 million clusters were generated per lane on a 25B flow cell.
