MetaHIT "error-free" contigs from MetaBAT

We obtained this data from MetaHIT "error-free" contigs produced in Metabat [1]. The dataset was derived from raw read obtained obtained through 264 human gut sequencing runs conducted by the MetaHIT consortium [2]. The reads were mapped to 290 known genomes from the NCBI-database.To create the contigs, the reference genomes were shredded, resulting in 41 to 1617 contigs per genome. These contigs had 31 overlapping bases and lengths spanning 2.5K to 64.5K base pairs. The contigs are considered "error-free" as they were obtained directly from known genomes rather than being constructed fromby an assembly algorithm. We filtered contigs below 2.5k basepairs, resulting in a total of 177.146 contigs.See more in Metabat: https://bitbucket.org/berkeleylab/metabat/wiki/Home. <br>[1] Kang, Dongwan D., et al.
