Human Fecal Bacteria Metagenome
The human gut microbiome plays a crucial role in host metabolism, immune function, and overall health. This project employed whole-metagenome shotgun sequencing to characterize the bacterial community composition and functional potential of human fecal samples. Total microbial community DNA was extracted from fecal specimens collected from 48 healthy adult donors. Sequencing was performed on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform, generating paired-end reads of 150 bp. Raw sequence data are being submitted to the NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA) under this BioProject. This dataset will serve as a valuable resource for comparative studies of the gut microbiota, facilitating investigations into associations between gut microbial composition and host physiology, as well as for the recovery of metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) and functional gene analysis.
