Human Microbiome Compendium dataset

Description

The Human Microbiome Compendium is an ongoing project to build a large collection of human microbiome sequencing data processed with a uniform pipeline. Currently, the compendium contains 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing data for human gut microbiome samples retrieved from the Sequence Read Archive. Our website at microbiomap.org has more information about the project and links to related resources.
