title: Viral metagenome from the Damariscotta River Estuary
organism: viral metagenome
description: The project aims were to determine a baseline viral diversity in the Damariscotta River Estuary from water collected off the Bigelow Laboratory dock. This dataset was then used to design qPCR assays to monitor changes in specific virus populations in response to changes in pCO2 and temperature.
