Microbiome Analyses
Clinical production phase sequencing data is currently being processed into NCBI's dbGap database. Once sequence is available, the HMP will begin analyses including, but not limited to:
- Phylogenetic Analysis of 16S rRNA sequence using RDB classifier
- Taxonomic binning of metagenomic wgs sequence
- Read-based community comparisons of metagenomic wgs sequence
- Functional annotation of the human microbiome, and identification of gene classes of particular interest
- Identification of metabolic pathways
- Comparisons of microbiomes from different body sites/subjects on multiple levels: organisms, genes, pathways
