The growing body of metagenomic data offers the possibility for creating
longer consensus assemblies for ecosystems of interest as a community
resource. We tested this concept by performing a co-assembly of metagenome
and metatranscriptome data from five independent studies of biological
soil crust communities in the southwestern United States.
These are metagenomic assemblies made up from publicly available datasets
collected over the course of 2021. See the associated publication for a
list of the datasets that went into the final assembly. Raw sequence reads
were assembled with MetaHipMer and the resulting contigs were binned with
MaxBin. Quality of the resulting bins were determined with CheckM
