Metagenomic and viromic characterization of the cold-seep tubeworm Sclerolinum annulatus holobiont
This project investigates the bacterial and viral communities associated with the cold-seep tubeworm Sclerolinum annulatus collected from the Haima cold seep in the South China Sea. Short-read and long-read metagenomic sequencing were used to recover bacterial metagenome-assembled genomes and to characterize the host-associated microbial community. Viral sequences were further identified from metagenomic assemblies to profile the associated virome. These data provide genomic resources for examining bacterial diversity, functional potential, and virus-associated features within the trophosome-associated microbiome of S. annulatus.
