Co-assembly of 98TBs of metagenomes from human gut using exascale assembler MetaHipMer

We report data and analyses from co-assembly of 74,559 human gut microbiome datasets totaling 98TB. The co-assembly resulted in 17M contigs, 1.1M of which were of viral origin, and 803 of them were complete viral genomes.

本研究报道了74559个人类肠道宏基因组数据集的共组装数据与分析结果，这批数据集总规模达98太字节（TB）。本次共组装共生成1700万个重叠群（contig），其中110万个为病毒来源序列，另有803个为完整病毒基因组。
