Atlas is a dataset of microbiome samples created by outpost-bio. Each row represents one biological sample, containing aligned lists of taxonomic rank strings and their matching relative abundances. Additional columns record data type, sequencing method, pipeline version, and study accession.
Use Cases
- Training microbiome foundation models based on taxonomic abundance profiles.
- Analyzing relationships between sequencing methods and taxonomic composition.
- Comparing microbiome data across different studies based on recorded accession numbers.
- Benchmarking data processing pipelines based on recorded pipeline version.
Strengths
- Data includes aligned taxonomic and abundance lists per sample, ensuring feature consistency.
- Metadata columns for data type, sequencing method, and study accession provide context for each row.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Provenance
