title: Metatranscriptome of cropland soil (20-30cm) from BART site, Lake St-Pierre Floodplain
design: RNA libraries were prepared using the NEBNext Ultra II RNA Library Prep Kit for Illumina with random Primers following the manufacturers instructions.  Library size was checked on a Bioanalyzer High Sensitivity DNA Chip for a narrow distribution with a peak size approximately 300 pb and quantified with Qubit DNA HS assay kit.  Each library was normalized at 10 ng/ul to ensure equal library representation in the pooled library for sequencing.
