Hot Spring Microbiome Sample Read Classification Summary

Supplementary data from a study exploring terrestrial hot spring microbiomes for CO2 utilisation. The file summarises the proportion of sequencing reads that were unclassified by the Kaiju tool for each sample. The dataset is a 9.9 KB Excel file authored by Christopher E. Stead and last updated on 2026-04-21.

Use Cases

• Assess the performance of taxonomic classification tools based on the proportion of unclassified reads per sample.
• Compare classification success rates across different hot spring microbiome samples.
• Identify samples with high rates of unclassified reads for further methodological refinement or novel organism discovery.

Strengths

• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0.
• File size is small (9.9 KB), enabling quick download and inspection.

Limitations

• Row count and column definitions are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.

Provenance

Source
