Cyanobacteria, diatoms, invertebrates and vertebrates Raw sequence reads
Water and sediment samples were collected from Chang-re Lake (CRL) and Mang co Lake (MCL), the northwestern Tibetan Plateau. The barcodes residing in the 16S rRNA gene for cyanobacteria (CYA), the rbcL gene for diatoms (DIA), the COI gene for invertebrates (INV), and the 12S rRNA gene for vertebrates (VER) were amplified. Separate libraries (8 total) for each lake and each taxonomic group were constructed. Here are the paired-end sequencing data.
