title: The North Pacific Eukaryotic Gene Catalog: Raw assemblies from Gradients 1, 2 and 3

description: The North Pacific Eukaryotic Gene Catalog consolidates eukaryotic metatranscriptome data from three latitudinal transects of the North Pacific transition zone and one cruise in the subtropical gyre. Metatranscriptomes were gathered from latitudinally-resolved surface samples, and diel-resolved temporal studies, with samples taken in triplicate or duplicate and collected on 0.2-100 μm, 0.2-3 μm, and 3 μm-100 or 200 μm size fractions. These metatranscriptome data were de novo assembled into 175 independent assemblies, totalling 182 million clustered nucleotide contigs. Assemblies were annotated by taxonomy and function. This catalog provides assembled environmental contigs, their translated peptide sequences, and their taxonomic and functional annotations with the aim of facilitating continued discoveries about the molecular ecology of microbial eukaryotes in the North Pacific.A full description of this data is published in Scientific Data, available here: The North Pacific Eukaryotic Gene Catalog of metatranscriptome assemblies and annotations.
