Data Source

This large-scale study includes a total of 9,251 samples collected from various human body sites and countries.

  • 6104 adult gut metagenome samples from 20 countries after refinning

  • curatedMetagenomeData R package for retrieving the sample metadata

  • Manually curated ARG families from CARD database (n=752)
