Human gut metagenomes and assembled microbial genomes from an urban cohort from Colombia, South America

Year: 2025

Type: preprint

Abstract: This study presents shotgun gut metagenomes of 430 men and women (18-62 years old) from diverse urban areas of Colombia. Metagenome assembly resulted in 2 266 medium- and high-quality metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). The metagenomes and MAGs complement previously published 16S rRNA gene and host data from the same cohort.
