Lemonade Creek, Yellowstone National Park, USA - Microbial Community Analysis - Cyanidiophyceae genome data for HGT analysis

<p>This dataset consists of 12 metagenome samples that were collected from one of three environments in Yellowstone National Park:</p> <ul> <li>4 samples (numbered 1, 2, 3, 4) are from the "CreekBiofilm" environment.</li> <li>4 samples (1, 2, 3, 4) are from the "Endolithic" environment.</li> <li>4 samples (1, 2, 3, 4) are from the "Soil" environment.</li> </ul> <p>We have found that there are two species of cyanidiophyceae present in these samples: one *Galdieria sulphuraria* (the `*Gsulp*` files) and one *Cyanidioschyzon merolae* (the `*Cmer*` files). For each of these species I extracted their contigs from the metagenome assembly if they had &gt;=10% of their lengths covered by hits with &gt;90% ID to the respective reference genome (i.e., contigs with &gt;10% coverage of hits with &gt;90% ID to a given reference genome). The majority of contigs have &gt;90% hit coverage however, to prevent removal of contigs with novel sequences (arising via HGT or other processes), I used a lenient threshold of 10%. The naming of the files indicate which sample the contigs are from and which of the two cyanidiophyceae species they are putatively from. NOTE: that there are very few predicted proteins in the `YNP_CreekBiofilm_*_Gsulp*` files. This is because this environment is completely dominated by the other algal species and so we recovered very few contigs from this species from these environments.</p>
