Datasets generated by shotgun sequencing of metagenomic libraries of the guajataca water reservoir.

ABSTRACT: The Guajataca Water Reservoir (GWR) was constructed for irrigation and to bring potable water to the northwestern region of Puerto Rico. The generation of DNA sequencing data from aquatic bodies (AB) using culture-independent approaches allows the investigation of the total microbial diversity as well as the potential anthropogenic impact. Metagenomic libraries were constructed for two GWR sampling sites and genomic information access through shotgun sequencing. After removing the bacterial host cell genome and the library fosmid sequences, the environmental genome was processed through Rapid Annotation using Subsystems Technology for Metagenomes (MG-RAST). The sequences consisted primarily of bacteria (95.70%), followed by viruses (2.94%), other sequences (0.28%) and eukaryote (0.09%). Th
