Alpha Rarefaction Data for Arbacia Lixula Amplicon Sequencing

Alpha rarefaction data for the amplicon sequencing of the sea urchin species Arbacia lixula. The dataset was authored by Tyler J. Carrier and is available under a CC-BY-4.0 license. It was last updated on April 23, 2026.

Use Cases

• Assess sequencing depth sufficiency for the Arbacia lixula microbiome based on rarefaction curves.
• Compare alpha diversity metrics across different samples of the sea urchin species.
• Validate amplicon sequencing protocols for marine invertebrate host-associated communities.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• File size is 10.5 KB, indicating a focused and manageable data product.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
