This dataset contains data associated with the manuscript titled "Phaeoviruses Present in Cultured and Natural Kelp Species, Saccharina latissima and Laminaria hyperborea (Phaeophyceae, Laminariales), in Norway.", part of the ViraICE project (NFR-314108).
The objective of the study was to determine the diversity, distribution, and prevalence of phaeoviruses in Norwegian kelps in the context of both coastal ecosystem management and food production in the aquaculture sector. To do so, we carried out a molecular analysis of cultured and wild samples of two economically important kelp species in Norway (Saccharina latissima and Laminaria hyperborea), along the Norwegian coast.
The dataset named "Kelp_sampling_data" contains all sampling information (date, location, depth, seawater temperature, salinity, etc) related to the two kelp species harvested from 2016 to 2022; as well as the extracted DNA concentration (eluted in two different tubes, DNA_1 and DNA_2) and PCR results against the Phaeoviral MCP gene. The following parameters are described:
- Sample
- Species
- Date
- Location
- Lat
- Long
- Sampling station
- Depth (m)
- Average temperature (Celsius)
- Salinity
- Dry weight (mg)
- DNA 1 (ng/ul)
- Volume (ul)
- DNA 2 (ng/ul)
- Volume (ul)
- Virus positive?
The total number of Phaoviral positive samples are as well described, per year and location/collector.
The dataset named "Kelp_sequencing_data" contains all information obtained by sequencing some of the PCR positive samples (number of reads, number of matches against a reference sequence list, number of viral variants found...). The following parameters are described:
- Sample ID
- Species
- Location
- Date
- ONT sequencing run ID
- ONT sequencing barcode
-
Sequences
-
Virus variants refined
- Virus variant (I, II, and/or III)
- Read matches against reference sequences
