title: M42-metagenomics:hydrothermal microbiome
design: This study aims to characterize microbial diversity in deep-sea hydrothermal vent biofilm samples collected from the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridges. Biofilm DNA was extracted from environmental samples and prepared using the ThruPLEX DNA-seq kit. Libraries were sequenced on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform using paired-end 150 bp reads. The design compares microbial community composition across vent sites with varying temperature and chemical gradients. This sample originate from the Seven Sisters vent field, orginal sample name GS21_106_ROV435A_BS-A_cryo.
