Nasopharyngeal swabs were taken from volunteers attending a general medical practice and hospital in Lancaster, UK, at Lancaster University, the winter of 2014-2015. 51 selected based on high RNA yield allocated to deep sequencing pools as follows: patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; asthmatics; adults no respiratory symptoms; feverish symptoms presence antibodies against influenza C; paediatric (2 pools); C infection pools), giving total 9 pools. Illumina was performed, data yields per pool range 345.6 megabases 14 gigabases after removal reads aligning human genome. The deposited Sequence Read Archive NCBI, constitute resource for study viral, bacterial fungal metagenome nasopharynx healthy diseased states comparison other metagenomic studies tract.
