Multiple groundwater samples were collected over several years from two deep geological sites excavated in crystalline bedrock of the Fennoscandian Shield. The first is the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) operated Aspo HRL located in the southeast of Sweden (Lat N 57 26 4 Lon E 16 39 36). The second site is on the island of Olkiluoto, Finland, that will also host a deep geological repository for the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel (Lat N 61 14 31, Lon E 21 29 23).

Binning of the 44 metagenomes (ca. 1.3 TB sequenced data) resulted in the reconstruction of 1278 metagenome assembled genomes. By augmenting this dataset with 564 sequenced single cell amplified genomes, we present a comprehensive genomic database for the prokaryotic diversity of the oligotrophic deep groundwaters in the Fennoscandian Shield fractures.
