Analytical Performance of Direct-to-Consumer Gut Microbiome Testing Services

This repository contains raw and intermediate data files as well as analysis code from the manuscript ?Evaluating the Analytical Performance of Direct-to-Consumer Gut Microbiome Testing Services?. In this analysis a pilot version of the homogenized whole human stool reference material was submitted as a sample to commercial direct to consumer microbiome testing companies. In addition, NIST conducted in house characterization by 16S amplicon sequencing and whole metagenomic sequencing (WMS) on the same sample. Raw sequencing data from the sequencing providers was not obtained for this study; however sequencing files (fastq) both 16S amplicon sequencing analysis and whole metagenomic sequencing (WMS) conducted at NIST are included. In addition, the fastq files from other donors that contributed to the pilot material and included in this analysis to represent biological diversity are also included in this record.
