1. INTRODUCTION

   AMnrGC is a collection of genes and proteins which were constructed<br>
   by use of Amazon river basin openly available metagenomes from<br>
   sequencing projects (SRP044326, PRJEB25171 and SRP039390). Briefly,<br>
   metagenomes were coassembled by groups made up their geographical<br>
   location with Megahit v.1.0 and the contigs were used to gene predictions<br>
   by Prodigal v.2.6.3. Genes sequences were length filtered (&gt; 150 bp) and<br>
   clustered by CD-HIT-EST (version 4.6) at 95% of nucleotide identity and<br>
   90% of overlap of the shorter gene. Theorical protein products were annotated<br>
   by the most completes databases up to date and their complete information<br>
   is available here.

 

2. LOCATION

   AMnrGC versions will be available on the web only under the current ZENODO<br>
   repository: 10.5281/zenodo.1484504

 

3. FORMAT

   Gene entries were named as "&gt;AM_AGSSY_XXX" where XXX represents an unique numerical<br>
   identifier. Genes were deposited in their coding phase, because of this, all of them<br>
   can be used to generate the protein sequences by transeq function at ORF+1.<br>
   The protein entries correspond to genes artifical translation used in the annotations,<br>
   and also available, codified in the same way, but containing the indication "_1" in<br>
   the end of the header. Example:

    Gene:<br>
    &gt;AM_AGSSY_151515

    Protein:<br>
    &gt;AM_AGSSY_151515_1

   Annotations were provided as separate tables for each database used to annotate the<br>
   sequences. The header of these tables indicates the meaning of each value.

 

2. FUTURE FORMAT CHANGES

   No major changes are expected for the main general format of the database.<br>
   New versions should include updated versions of annotations or even additional sequences,<br>
   numbered as subsequent entries.
