Human gut microbiome dataset from 22 subjects based on shotgun DNA sequencing

Description

The enterotype data of the human gut microbiome includes taxonomic profiling for 280 fecal samples from 22 subjects based on shotgun DNA sequencing. The authors claimed that the data naturally clumps into three community-level clusters, or "enterotypes", that are not immediately explained by sequencing technology or demographic features of the subjects. In a later addendum from 2014 the authors stated that enterotypes should not be seen as discrete clusters, but as a way of stratifying samples to reduce complexity. It was converted into a TreeSummarizedExperiment from the phyloseq package.
