To describe the taxonomic diversity and functional profiles of Guanica dry forest, metagenomic DNA was extracted from a metagenomic library generated from forest soil. The DNA was shotgun-sequenced using Illumina and analyzed using the MG-RAST server. The profiles can be used in comparative studies involving soils from high temperature and low humidity environments. Additionally, the functional profile can be used for bioprospecting studies with applications in biomedical sciences, biotechnology and microbial, population and applied ecology fields.
