LMP cohort data
The population-specific nature of the human gut microbiome has highlighted the need for microbiome data availability from diverse populations and geographic regions. Here, we present a cross-sectional gut microbiome dataset from 845 participants representing the Latvian population, generated through the citizen science initiative “The Latvian Microbiome Project”. Samples have been sequenced by employing shotgun metagenomics analysis and DNBSEQ-G400RS technology. These data, together with basic health status information, characterise the Latvian population-specific gut microbiome profile, expand the available gut microbiome shotgun metagenomics data pool, and provide a useful resource for the validation of microbiome-based hypotheses and biomarkers across populations.
