Establishing a Sputum Microbiome Dataset within a Multicenter COPD Cohort: Preliminary Findings from KOCOSS
This project investigates the sputum microbiome in COPD patients and controls, focusing on correlations between clinical metadata and microbial community composition. The dataset includes paired-end 16S rRNA gene sequencing data generated from sputum samples to characterize bacterial diversity, community structure, and potential associations with COPD-related clinical features.
