MbPL202401596: Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing Data with Functional Annotations

334.2 MB of shotgun metagenomic data includes taxonomic abundance tables, alpha- and beta-diversity metrics, and functional annotations across KEGG, eggNOG, GO, CAZy, NR, and SwissProt databases. Shiyun Liu deposited this dataset on figshare, with a last update timestamp of 2026-05-31. The package also contains sample metadata, sequencing-processing summaries, functional gene data, and the analysis workflow.

Use Cases

• Profiling microbial community structure based on taxonomic abundance tables at different taxonomic levels
• Comparing microbial diversity between samples using provided alpha- and beta-diversity data
• Predicting metabolic pathways and functional potential based on KEGG, eggNOG, and GO annotations
• Investigating carbohydrate-active enzyme profiles using CAZy annotation tables
• Annotating protein sequences against reference databases using NR and SwissProt tables

Strengths

• Dataset includes multiple layers of analysis: taxonomic, diversity, and functional annotation across six major databases (KEGG, eggNOG, GO, CAZy, NR, SwissProt).
• The 334.2 MB package contains the complete analysis workflow alongside the processed data tables.
• Data is shared under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license, facilitating reuse and redistribution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale modeling.
• The description does not specify the geographic or environmental source of the samples, which may introduce bias.
