A high-resolution diel survey of surface ocean metagenomes, metatranscriptomes, and transfer RNA transcripts
The roles of marine microbes in ecosystem processes are inherently linked to their ability to sense, respond, and ultimately adapt to environmental change. Capturing the nuances of this perpetual dialogue and its long-term implications requires insight into the subtle drivers of microbial responses to environmental change that are most accessible at the shortest scales of time. Here, we present a multi-omics dataset comprising surface ocean metagenomes, metatranscriptomes, tRNA transcripts, and biogeochemical measurements, collected every 1.5 hours for 48 hours at two stations within coastal and adjacent offshore waters of the tropical Pacific Ocean. We expect that this integrated dataset of multiple sequence types and environmental parameters will facilitate novel insights into microbial ecology, microbial physiology, and ocean biogeochemistry and help investigate the different mechanisms of adaptation that drive microbial responses to environmental change.
