Hi. two questions: What kit did you use to collect the samples, and have the sequences posted here undergone any QC?

@mattk is this something you can help with? If others are interested in the Fox Insight genetic, microbiome, or patient-reported outcome data, it can be found here: Fox Insight: Data Exploration Network .

Participants received OMNIgene•GUT stool and OMNIgene•ORAL saliva collection kits, with standardized collection instructions. They were instructed to refrain from eating, drinking, chewing gum, smoking, or brushing teeth 30 minutes before saliva collection. Kits contained reagents to rapidly homogen…

[image] keatons: BoosterShot® shallow shotgun sequencing platform If I may add my 2 cents - Diversigen’s BoosterShot is a service rather than a sequencing platform. In their 2018 mSystems publication , they mentioned the Illumina HiSeq as the sequencing technology used in their shallow shotgun…

To follow up on this, is the annotated sequencing data available for download, or only the raw sequencing files?

I believe currently just the raw sequencing files. We’ve been in discussion with folks at MJFF to get the OTU and KO tables made available as well in the (hopefully) near future.

Got it, thanks for letting us know! That would be great if those tables can be made available as well.

Thanks so much! That’s very helpful.
