## TARA Oceans datasets

### Description

TARA Oceans was an expedition allowing to the study of plankton communities and their interactions with enviromental variables. This dataset was taken from mixkernel package (https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/mixKernel/index.html). Data constists on 139 prokaryotic-enriched samples collected from 68 stations and spread across threedepth layers: the surface (SRF), the deep chlorophyll maximum (DCM) layer and the mesopelagic(MES) zones. Samples were located in height different oceans or seas: Indian Ocean (IO), Mediter-ranean Sea (MS), North Atlantic Ocean (NAO), North Pacific Ocean (NPO), Red Sea (RS), SouthAtlantic Ocean (SAO), South Pacific Ocean (SPO) and South Ocean (SO).

### Usage

    data("Taraoceans")

### Format

A list with seven components:

phychemdata

  matrix with 139 rows and 22 columns. Each row represents a sample and each column an environmental variable.

pro.phylo

  a matrix with 139 rows (samples) and 356 columns (prokaryotic OTUs).

taxonomy

  a matrix with 356 rows (prokaryotic OTUs) and 6 columns indicating the taxonomy of each OTU.

phylogenetic.tree

  a phylo object (see package ’ape’) representing the prokaryotic OTUs

pro.NOGs

  a matrix with 139 rows (samples) and 638 columns (NOGs).

GO

  a list with the names of Gene Ontologies.

sample

  a list containing three following entries (all three are character vectors):name(samplename),ocean(oceanic region of the sample) and depth(sample depth)
