XTREAM project, WP2: re-assembled and re-annotated MAGs data
Abstract
The dataset includes MAGs derived from diverse environments, including approximately 33 marine sponge samples and 4 freshwater sponge samples. The initial filtering identified a set of high-abundance candidate MAGs spanning major sponge-associated phyla (including Proteobacteria, Bacteroidota, Acidobacteriota, Actinobacteriota, Desulfobacterota, and Verrucomicrobiota). The selection was subsequently refined through additional curation steps, taking into account genome quality (completeness and contamination) and biological relevance.
