The OceanDNA MAG catalog contains over 50,000 prokaryotic genomes originated from various marine environments.

ABSTRACT: Marine microorganisms are immensely diverse and play fundamental roles in global geochemical cycling. Recent metagenome-assembled genome studies, with particular attention to large-scale projects such as Tara Oceans, have expanded the genomic repertoire of marine microorganisms. However, published marine metagenome data is still underexplored. We collected 2,057 marine metagenomes covering various marine environments and developed a new genome reconstruction pipeline. We reconstructed 52,325 qualified genomes composed of 8,466 prokaryotic species-level clusters spanning 59 phyla, including genomes from the deep-sea characterized as deeper than 1,000 m (n = 3,337), low-oxygen zones of <90 μmol O2 per kg water (n = 7,884), and polar regions (n = 7,752).
