DNA sequence and taxonomic gap analyses to quantify the coverage of aquatic cyanobacteria and eukaryotic microalgae in reference databases: Results of a survey in the Alpine region

<p>This dataset has been prepared as part of the Interreg Alpine Space project Eco-AlpsWater (ASP569) -&nbsp;<em>Innovative Ecological Assessment and Water Management Strategy for the Protection of Ecosystem Services in Alpine Lakes and Rivers</em>,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.alpine-space.eu/projects/eco-alpswater/en/home">https://www.alpine-space.eu/projects/eco-alpswater/en/home</a></p> <p>Individual archives include 16S rRNA (cyanobacteria) and 18S rRNA (microalgae) FASTA sequences and associated blastn results obtained from the high throughput sequencing of plankton and biofilm bulk/eDNA samples collected in 2019 in 37 lakes and 22 rivers across the Alpine region. These are supporting files for the paper by Salmaso et al., 2022.&nbsp;DNA sequence and taxonomic gap analyses to quantify the coverage of aquatic cyanobacteria and eukaryotic microalgae in reference databases: Results of a survey in the Alpine region.
