Expanded Skin Microbial Genome Collection (eSMGC)

The Expanded Skin Microbial Genome Collection (eSMGC) is a genome database of skin microbiota. It contains 4.7 GB of genomic data derived from a study on geographic variation and host genetics. The dataset was authored by Hoon Je Seong and last updated on April 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze geographic variation in skin microbial communities based on the study's focus
• Investigate host genetics' influence on microbiome composition based on the study's focus
• Perform comparative genomics on skin-associated microbes based on the genome collection

Strengths

• Dataset size is 4.7 GB, indicating a substantial collection of genomic data
• Dataset is linked to a specific preprint study, providing a research context

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
