Fox Insight PD Microbiome (PDMB) Metadata & Resources

Thanks @bmbrown317 and @mattk ! I was actually planning on posting about this resource tomorrow, so going to instead add onto this thread a bit.

Happy to report that thanks to work from @keatons and @mattk, we’ve been able to make additional metadata, data, and documentation available for the Fox Insight PD Microbiome (PDMB) cohort. This includes the following:

  1. KEGG Orthology Annotations
  2. Operational Taxonomic Unit Annotations
  3. Operational Taxonomic Assignment Annotations
  4. Survey data from @keatons’s paper, titled “Oral and gut microbiome profiles in people with early idiopathic Parkinson’s disease,” which can be found here: link.

All of these are hosted on Fox DEN, a research tool which investigators can use to explore, download and apply statistical models on aggregated data collected for the Fox Insight online clinical study.

The PD Microbiome resources can specifically be found here in the resources section of the platform (login required): link.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions and @bmbrown317 keep us posted about your work – I’m sure others on here would like to learn more as it progresses!
