freshwater metagenome Genome sequencing
The sequence data in this project are from metagenomic sequencing of surface water samples collected from Kissena Lake in Queens, New York City on September 26, 2019 during a cyanobacterial bloom dominated by Raphidiopsis (Cylindrospermopsis) raciborskii. The primary objective was to capture the genomic sequence of a North American strain of Raphidiopsis raciborskii from a bloom in a natural lake. The dominant bloom-forming species in this lake at the time of sample collection was microscopically/morphologically identified as Raphidiopsis raciborskii. A secondary objective was to metagenomically profile the co-occurring cyanobacterial community.
