Dataset: Montastraea annularis white plague coral viromes and 16S amplicon libraries analyzed in the Vega Thurber lab at Florida International University, North Miami, FL (Coral Virus project)

Principal Investigator: Rebecca Vega Thurber (Oregon State University)

Project: Effects of Viruses on Coral Fitness (Coral Virus)

This collection of 23 viral metagenomes and their associated 16S amplicon data were derived from seawater (n=2) and tissues of 1) apparently healthy Montastraea annularis corals (n=2), 2) diseased M. annularis corals (n=7) exhibiting signs of white plague disease, 3) bleached tissues of M. annularis corals exhibiting signs of white plague disease (n=7), and 4) bleached tissues of apparently healthy but bleached M. annularis (n=5).

Data access: These data are stored at Metavir a web server designed to annotate viral metagenomic sequences (raw reads or assembled contigs). http://metavir-meb.univ-bpclermont.fr/index.php?page=Welcome. This dataset on the published viromes, can be identified under "public projects", under the project entitled “WP reads – Soffer et al 2013.” One must "launch" each library and download the associated FASTA files individually: A=bleached from diseased samples, H=healthy bleached samples, D=diseased samples, UB=unbleached healthy samples, SW= seawater, SWD=seawater diseased.
