Termite Gut Bacterial and Fungal Amplicon Sequencing Data

2026 data from 79 termite gut samples provides bacterial 16S rDNA and fungal ITS amplicon sequencing raw files and processed ASV tables. The dataset includes CSV files for bacteria_asv, fungi_asv, and termite_sample_info, contributed by Zhizhou Jia.

Use Cases

• Analyze bacterial and fungal community composition across termite samples using ASV tables from bacteria_asv.csv and fungi_asv.csv.
• Correlate microbial ASV profiles with sample metadata contained in the termite_sample_info.csv file.
• Compare bacterial 16S rDNA and fungal ITS sequence data from the 79 provided termite gut samples.
• Process raw sequencing files (e.g., RP_FDDP210079975-1a_1.fq.gz) for custom bioinformatic pipeline development.

Strengths

• Includes raw sequencing files and processed ASV tables for both bacterial and fungal communities.
• Data is recent, with a last update in March 2026.
• Contains information from 79 distinct termite gut samples.

Limitations

• Unknown row counts and column structure for the CSV files limit immediate analytical planning.
• Sample size of 79 may be insufficient for detecting rare microbial taxa or complex interactions.
• Geographic origin and specific temporal range of sample collection are not specified.
