Variability and Bias in Microbiome Metagenomic Sequencing: an Interlaboratory Study Comparing Experimental Protocols

Published by National Institute of Standards and Technology | National Institute of Standards and Technology | Metadata Last Checked: August 02, 2025 | Last Modified: 2023-02-03 00:00:00
This repository provides analysis code and results produced during evaluation of metagenomic sequencing (MGS) data collected through the Mosaic Standards Challenge. The Mosaic Standards Challenge asked participating laboratories analyze the same set of 7 samples using their own favored MGS laboratory methods. Each lab submitted their raw sequencing results and protocol information. The resulting MGS data was analyzed through a common bioinformatic pipeline and then evaluated to determine the effects of methodological choices.
