Winter under-ice microbiome of the Great Whale River (Nunavik, Canada).
The objective of this project was to assess winter under-ice microbiome of the Great Whale River (Nunavik, Canada) and its discharge plume into Hudson Bay. Size-fractionated microbial community composition (0.22-3 and >3 micrometres) was determined by high throughput sequencing of the V4 region of the 16S and 18S rRNA and rRNA genes.
