IndoMEE: Gut Microbiome Abundance Across Indonesian and Singaporean Populations

The Indonesian Microbiome Ecology and Evolution (IndoMEE) version 1 database contains relative abundance data for species-level reference genomes assembled from gut metagenomes. It covers 116 human individuals from 8 communities across the Indonesian archipelago, plus 109 Singaporeans, representing a range of lifestyles from hunter-gatherer and agricultural to urban. The data was published by Clarissa Febinia and colleagues in a 2025 Cell Reports study.

Use Cases

• Compare gut microbiome composition based on lifestyle (hunter-gatherer, agricultural, urban) mentioned in the description
• Analyze species-level genomic diversity across different geographic populations in Indonesia and Singapore
• Investigate the impact of rural-to-urban lifestyle transitions on the human gut microbiome

Strengths

• Data is derived from 116 Indonesian and 109 Singaporean individuals, providing a multi-population sample.
• Samples were collected from 8 distinct communities across the Indonesian archipelago, capturing geographic diversity.
• The dataset is directly linked to a peer-reviewed 2025 publication in Cell Reports, providing scientific context.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• The dataset size is listed as 0.0 B, indicating a very limited scope or potential metadata error.
