In PERFect: Permutation filtration for microbiome data

#' Bias experiment data
#'
#' These publicly available data (Brooks et al., 2015) were generated as a part of a study designed to evaluate the bias
#'  at each step of the VCU sequencing protocol, namely,  DNA extraction,  PCR amplification,  sequencing and taxonomic
#'  classification. Mock community samples were created out of 7 vaginally relevant bacteria  by mixing prescribed
#'  quantities of cells, with quantities varying across samples according to an experimental design described in
#'  Brooks et al, 2015. As opposed to the positive controls data, bacteria appear in different proportions across samples.
#'  The number of taxa identified by the sequencing and bioinformatics pipeline was 46.
