Data availability

The following data is available for the development of the projects:

In general, DNA extracted from fecal samples collected from AML patients undergoing intensive chemotherapy have been sequenced using

  • 16S amplicon sequencing

  • metagenomic shotgun sequencing

All computed data can be found at /nfs/course/551-1119-00L_masterdata/projects with the following folder structure:

  • 16S

    • aml_metab_ASV_BC_HS21.txt: ASV table containing all samples that have been sequenced using 16S amplicon sequencing

    • aml_metab_tax_BC_HS21.txt: Taxonomy table containing the sequences of individual ASVs and their taxonomic annotation as derived using mTAGs

  • metaG:

    • gene_catalog:

      • AML_115_METAG_cdhit9590.functional_profile_insertcounts.lengthnorm.cellab.withKEGG.profile.gz: Functional profile of the gene catalog. Per cell abundance of each KO.

      • AML_115_METAG_cdhit9590.functional_profile_insertcounts.profile.gz: Functional profile of the gene catalog. Number of reads of each KO. This table is not normalized and is only intended to be used for rarefaction and downstream alpha diversity analyses.

      • AML_115_METAG_cdhit9590.gene_profile_insertcounts.lengthnorm.cellab.withKEGG.profile.gz: Gene profile of the gene catalog. Per cell abundance of each gene x 1000

    • MAGs:

      • gtdbtk.ar122.summary.tsv: Taxonomic information on the MAGs out of GTDB (Archaea)

      • gtdbtk.bac120.summary.tsv: Taxonomic information on the MAGs out of GTDB (Bacteria)

    • mOTUs:

      • aml_metag_motus_BC_HS21.txt: Microbial abundance profiles for all samples sequenced using shotgun metagenomic sequencing as derived using mOTUs

  • auxiliary_data:

    • clinical_data:

      • AML_metadata_BC_HS21.txt: File containing all available clinical metadata from patients enrolled within the AML study as of per OCT2021

      • AML_Antiinfectives.txt: File containing the usage scheme of all antiinfective drugs given to patients enrolled within the AML study as per AUG2021
