Welcome to the MCM LTER genetic/genomic data resource. This is our initial attempt to make molecular data associated with our project easily accessible to the public. We hope to make this resource more integrated with our database and the LTER network NIS as more data become available. We encourage users to help us improve this site by telling us how to make this site more useful to them. Note that not all data listed below are publicly available if they are within the 2 year embargo or have not been published yet. However, please contact the submitter if you have an immediate need for the data.
