Metagenomic analysis of sediments along a uranium gradient
Surface sediment from a billabong in the Northern Territory of Australia was collected and spiked with uranyl sulfate at 6 different concentrations (0 - 4,000 mg/ kg). The sediments were then re-deployed at the site and left in these natural environmental conditions for 5 months. DNA was extracted from the sediments and submitted for metagenomic sequencing on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 instrument.
