Metabarcoding data of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene from bulk community of aquatic organisms collected from Nara Prefecture, Japan

Riverine metabarcoding data were obtained from the Takamigawa River, a tributary of the Kinokawa River, in Nara Prefecture (Central Honshu, Japan). We extracted DNA from bulk community samples of aquatic organisms, most of which could not be morphologically identified at species level due to their s...

Sumario:Riverine metabarcoding data were obtained from the Takamigawa River, a tributary of the Kinokawa River, in Nara Prefecture (Central Honshu, Japan). We extracted DNA from bulk community samples of aquatic organisms, most of which could not be morphologically identified at species level due to their small body size (0.12 - 2 mm length). A partial coding region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 gene (cox1) was amplified using PCR, and the amplicon was subjected to high-throughput parallel sequencing (Illumina MiSeq). The 313 bp paired-end sequence reads were classified into operational taxonomic units (OTUs), their species boundaries were delineated using the Generalised Mixed Yule Coalescent (GMYC) method, and taxonomic names of the GMYC species were assigned using basic local alignment search tool (BLAST) against International DNA Databases (INSD: GenBank, ENA, and DDBJ).
