Dataset: Protein sequences from diversity-generating retroelements in groundwater microorganisms collected near Rifle, Colorado between 2011 and 2012 (Viruses in Methanotrophic Marine Ecosystems project)

This dataset includes links to diversity-generating retroelement sequences files in .fasta format.  There are separate .fasta files for reverse transcriptase protein sequences and variable protein sequences.  These sequences were derived from previously generated sequence accessions at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).  Original sampling took place near Rifle, Colorado​ between 2011 and 2012.
