35 metagenomic datasets from the northern and southern parts of the Yap trench sediments
Abstract
The hadal trench is the deepest part of the global ocean and harbors highly abundant microbial cells. However, the diversity and function of the majority of microbial communities in this part of the ocean are still unclear. Here, we collected 35 metagenomes from three push cores across different sites in both the northern and southern Yap trench to construct a comprehensive gene and genome dataset. A total of 32 million non-redundant genes were predicted from the whole metagenome datasets, with 63% assigned to known functional groups based on currently available databases. A total of 404 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) with completeness >50% and contamination
