Description:

Abstract:

This data set describes nucleotide sequence data derived from 18S ribosomal DNA amplified in two fragments. A total of 87 feces from Pacific walrus and 57 marine invertebrates were examined for this study. Samples were collected from the Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea, Alaska. Samples used in the study originated from feces or muscle samples collected in the field from ice floes or benthic van Veen grab samples.

Purpose: To infer the summer diets of Pacific walrus.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Identifying information about samples were cross-checked with original field data. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification followed protocols described in Sonsthagen et al 2020. All laboratory techniques were performed using sterile procedures.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Primers and adapters were trimmed using the default scoring algorithm in CLC Genomics v. 9.0 (Qiagen Inc.). Bases were trimmed on a maximum error probability of 0.01, with at most two ambiguous bases allowed and a minimum trimmed length of 50 bp. Orphaned reads were discarded. Trimmed read pairs were merged with the default merge parameters; merged reads shorter than 100 bp were discarded. See Sonsthagen et al. 2020 for additional information.

Fecal samples were collected from ice floes, stored in plastic bags and frozen. Additional details on field techniques are available in Sonsthagen et al (2020)

Methodology:

Methodology_Description:

DNA was extracted using a QIAamp DNA Stool Kit (Qiagen, Valencia, CA) or Qiagen Dneasy Blood and Tissue extraction kit (QIAGEN, Valencia, CA) following manufacturer’s protocol.

Methodology:

Methodology_Type: Lab
Methodology_Description:

Locus-specific primers were tailed with Illumina adaptors (P5 and P7) and indices following Nextera chemistry (Illumina, San Diego, CA). Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplifications were carried out in triplicate. Pooled PCR products were electrophoresed on a 1.5% agarose gel and gel purified using a MinElute Gel Extraction Kit (Qiagen) to ensure no primer dimers were present in the final library. Additional details on laboratory techniques are available in Sonsthagen et al (2020).

Attribute_Definition:

Each attribute represents one walrus fecal sample. Attribute labels correspond to "Sample_ID" value in the table "walrus_dietMetabarcoding_sampleDetails_alaska_sonsthagen_2012_2018.csv" included with this data package. Each record provides the number of reads assigned to the OTU for each walrus fecal sample.
