  Metatranscriptomics generates large volumes of sequence
  data about transcribed genes in natural environments.
  Taxonomic annotation of these datasets depends on
  availability of curated reference sequences. For marine
  microbial eukaryotes, current reference libraries are
  limited by gaps in sequenced organism diversity and
  barriers to updating libraries with new sequence data,
  resulting in taxonomic annotation of only about half of
  eukaryotic environmental transcripts. Here, we introduce
  version 1.0 of Marine Functional EukaRyotic Reference Taxa
  (MarFERReT), an updated marine microbial eukaryotic
  sequence library with a version-controlled framework
  designed for taxonomic annotation of eukaryotic
  metatranscriptomes. MarFERReT v1 contains reference
  sequences from 787 curated marine eukaryotic genomes and
  transcriptomes drawn from multiple sources, covering 444
  species and 287 genera, totaling over 27 million protein
  sequences with an associated NCBI Taxonomy identifier and
  Pfam functional annotations
