Welcome to the microbiome-metabolome-curated-data wiki!

This data collection includes curated data from multiple studies where both **metagenomic **and **metabolomic **profiles were obtained from human fecal samples [TODO: add on bottom refs to all datasets included]. It is made publicly available for the benefit of the microbiome research community in order to facilitate integrated microbiome-metabolome analysis and cross-study comparisons.

Data from the original studies was obtained from publications' supplementary, public data repositories in which data was deposited, or provided by the authors via mail. We then processed the data in a unified manner, attempting to create comparable datasets. Importantly, all comparisons should be made with caution, as there is substantial heterogeneity between studies in terms of cohort characteristics (ages, geography, medical backgrounds, etc.) as well as study protocols and data generation (sample collection and storage protocols, metagenomics and metabolomics technologies, etc.). All of these factors are expected to introduce variation in both fecal microbiome and fecal metabolome profiles. [TODO: add references form paper]

The following Wiki contains details about how the data is organized in this repository, the original studies that generated the data, how the data was processed and unified and a quick example of how the data could be used for cross-study comparisons.

[TODO: add some kind of table of contents here]

We thank all authors of the included studies, for making their data publicly available and responding to questions we had.
