Raw data display the total number of reads and their average length obtained from the sequencing platform, while the trimmed/assembled data display the data that have been processed in CLC Genomic Workbench. C1-3 indicates the three different layers (top, middle and bottom) and B/V if the particular sample was enriched for bacteria (B) or viruses (V).
