Example Dataset For Illustration
Description
This data set is provided for the purposes of illustrating the use of the software. It was adapted from the vaginal microbiome dataset from Subramaniam et al. (2016). The original dataset consists of 39 individuals with 19 bacterial vaginosis (BV) patients and 20 healthy controls. The sequencing data and metadata are publicly available at NCBI SRA database (PRJNA600021). Initial data processing, lead to 2711 OTUs formed at 97% sequence similarity. FastTree (Price et al, 2010) was used to construct the phylogenetic tree. The OTUs data have been filitered to exclude those with abundance < 0.005% and prevalence < 10%.
