Description

This data is the result of the primary analysis of the ITS2 sequencing data associated with the Coral Diversity dataset collected from all islands as part of the Tara Pacific expedition. A full README is contained within the data upload.

In this new release the following things were amended: 

  • Host annotations were filled in as complete as possible, ‘ND’ in cases without information
  • This included adding missing higher taxonomic ranks
  • sp. was added in the host_species column in cases where species was unknown but genus was annotated
  • Where no information on host taxon was available other than ‘coral_field’, Cnidaria was added as the taxonomic annotation
  • Collection depth was added, ranges were allowed, ‘nav’ in cases where no data was available
  • SymPortal submission metadatasheet added to release, containing above information

Notes

Special thanks to the Tara Ocean Foundation, the R/V Tara crew and the Tara Pacific Expedition Participants (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3777760). We are keen to thank the commitment of the following institutions for their financial and scientific support that made this unique Tara Pacific Expedition possible: CNRS, PSL, CSM, EPHE, Genoscope, CEA, Inserm, Université Côte d'Azur, ANR, agnès b., UNESCO-IOC, the Veolia Foundation, the Prince Albert II de Monaco Foundation, Région Bretagne, Billerudkorsnas, AmerisourceBergen Company, Lorient Agglomération, Oceans by Disney, L'Oréal, Biotherm, France Collectivités, Fonds Français pour l'Environnement Mondial (FFEM), Etienne Bourgois, and the Tara Ocean Foundation teams. Tara Pacific would not exist without the continuous support of the participating institutes. The authors also particularly thank Serge Planes, Denis Allemand, and the Tara Pacific consortium.
