marine metagenome
This sample (TARA_N000003183) was collected during the Tara Oceans expedition (2009-2013) at station TARA_144 (latitudeN=36.3489, longitudeE=-72.7896) on date/time=2012-01-29T22:46, using a PLANKTON NET, TYPE=Single, MESH_Size_(�m)=5, MOUTH_Opening_(m^2)=0.196349, LENGTH_(m)=2.5. The sample material (particulate matter, including plankton (ENVO:xxxxxxxx)) was collected at a depth of 3-7 m, targeting a surface water layer (ENVO:00002042) in the marine biome (ENVO:00000447). The sample was size-fractionated (5-20 micrometres), and stored in liquid nitrogen for later detection of unicellular eukaryote (protist) nucleic acid sequences by pyrosequencing methods, and for later metagenomics/transcriptomics analysis. This sample has replicate sample(s): TARA_N000003184.
