Harmonized Fecal Microbiome Profiles for Colorectal Cancer Meta-Analysis

383.2 MB of harmonized fecal microbiome profiles and sample metadata from a meta-analysis study. The data supports the manuscript 'Meta-analysis reveals a universal microbiome signature for colorectal cancer irrespective of onset age and sequencing method' by Pekel, Karcher et al. The repository was last updated on 2026-05-11.

Use Cases

• Identify universal microbial signatures for colorectal cancer based on harmonized microbiome profiles.
• Compare microbiome alterations across different patient onset ages using the integrated sample metadata.
• Benchmark new analysis methods against a standardized, processed dataset from multiple sequencing sources.

Strengths

• Data is harmonized across multiple studies, facilitating meta-analysis.
• The dataset is 383.2 MB in size, indicating substantial processed information.
• Includes analytical code linked via DOI for reproducibility.

Limitations

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