Toy dataset for metaGEM documentation (Gut v1)

This dataset was generated to test and benchmark the metaGEM workflow.

The 100 bp illumina WGS reads consist of ~10% subsets of 3 paired end sets of reads from the following publication:

Karlsson, Fredrik H., et al. “Gut Metagenome in European Women with Normal, Impaired and Diabetic Glucose Control.” Nature, vol.498,no.7452,2013,pp.99–103., doi:10.1038/nature12198.

SRA Accession code ERP002469.

The subsets were generated using the command line tool seqtk:

seqtk sample -s100 sample_X.fastq.gz 3000000 > subset_X.fastq.gz

The sample names in the original publication used to generate the toy dataset are ERR260162 (sample1), ERR260173 (sample2), ERR260184 (sample3).
