WildR F7: Murine Gut Microbiome Metagenome-Assembled Genomes

Metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from the WildR murine gut microbiome community, which was originally sourced from wild mice and reconstituted in germ-free laboratory mice in 2017. The dataset includes MAG sequences in FASTA and Prokka-annotated GenBank formats, along with assembly metrics and taxonomic annotations. It was generated by researchers at the University of Washington using long and short-read metagenomic sequencing on the F7 generation of the community.

Use Cases

• Analyze microbial community composition based on the provided taxonomic annotations.
• Study systems involved in microbial interactions based on the annotated genome sequences.
• Benchmark metagenomic assembly and annotation pipelines using the provided FASTA and GenBank files.

Strengths

• Includes both raw FASTA files (0.25 GB) and Prokka-annotated GenBank files (0.45 GB) for the assembled genomes.
• Provides assembly metrics and taxonomic annotations for each Metagenome-Assembled Genome (MAG).
• Based on a hybrid assembly approach combining long and short-read metagenomic sequencing.

Limitations

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