Lineage Samples taken in the field were shipped to Aberystwyth University for analysis. In brief DNA was exctracted from the soil samples and a specific region of the DNA was amplified for identification of fungi present in the sample. The amplified DNA was sequenced using Ion Torrent technology and sequences were identified against a currated database of fungal DNA. Relative sequence abundance for the identified fungi was calculated for each sample and data stored in an excel spreadsheet.. Descriptions on analysis methods included in the data and associated reports.
