These data are from a study that used amplicon sequencing of the viral major capsid protein (mcp) gene of positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses known to infect symbiotic dinoflagellates ('dinoRNAVs') to analyze their dynamics in the reef-building coral, Porites lobata. The investigators repeatedly sampled 54 colonies across three environmentally distinct reef zones (fringing reef, back reef, and forereef) around the island of Moorea, French Polynesia over a three-year period and spanning a ...
Show moreThis dataset is comprised of three components:
(1) temperature data measured at each reef site - available in the csv data file "906617_v1_temperature_moorea_reefs.csv"
(2) images of Porites lobata colonies taken at each site - available in the PDF "POR colony health images.pdf"
(3) dinoRNAV mcp gene amplicon libraries and Symbiodiniaceae LSU gene amplicon libraries - available in the National Center for Biotechnology Information Sequence Read Archive under accession numbers PRJNA928208 and PRJNA930706, respectively.
