Description

Microbial dataset containing sequenced genes (ureC gene) from Thaumarchaeota from the Beaufort Sea (Arctic) and the Amundsen Sea (Antarctica), as well as a metagenome (454 pyrosequencing) the Beaufort Sea. more

Samples were collected by using a ship-deployed rosette for open water sampling and through the ship’s internal moon pool for winter ice-covered sampling.
Study Extent: Water samples were collected near the surface and in deeper halocline waters from the Arctic Southeast Beaufort Sea during the overwintering CFL cruise and in the upper 500 m from the Antarctic Amundsen and Ross seas during the summer in the Oden Southern Ocean cruise.
