Processed Metagenomic Assemblies from Industrially Impacted South African Wetlands

Processed metagenomic assemblies, annotations, and metadata from long-read sequencing of freshwater wetland water samples. The 362.5 MB dataset was collected from industrially and municipally impacted sites in the Tshirela and Sharpeville regions of Gauteng Province, South Africa, and authored by Onyedikachi Ubani. It was last updated on April 21, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze microbial community composition based on metagenomic assemblies from impacted wetlands.
• Study functional gene annotations to understand metabolic pathways in polluted environments.
• Correlate environmental metadata with microbial features to assess pollution impacts.

Strengths

• Dataset size is 362.5 MB, indicating a substantial volume of processed outputs.
• Includes multiple file formats (TSV, FA, TXT, JSON, XLSX) for different analysis stages.
• Explicitly documents the geographic origin in Tshirela and Sharpeville, South Africa.

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.
