Southern Chinese populations harbour non-nucleatum Fusobacteria possessing homologues of the colorectal cancer-associated FadA virulence factor

This data archive contains the data that supplement the manuscript in Gut titled “Southern Chinese populations harbour non-nucleatum Fusobacteria possessing homologues of the colorectal cancer-associated FadA virulence factor”. The data consist of a list of human gut metagenome data sets included in this study, basic parameters of the HKGutMicMap cohort, average relative abundances of gut microbial phyla in non-CRC cohorts, prevalence and relative abundances of fusobacterial species in CRC subjects and non-CRC cohorts from CRC case-control studies, fusobacterial genomes in RefSeq database release 89, fusobacterial genomes included in this study, average percentage of CRC and non-CRC gut metagenome reads mapped to dereplicated fusobacterial genomes, pairwise average nucleotide identity comparisons among dereplicated fusobacterial genomes, clusters of genomes formed during genome dereplication, prevalence of KEGG orthologous groups in the Fusobacterium clades, FadA and Fap2 homologues found in fusobacterial genomes, and genome characteristics of eight fusobacteria isolated from frozen stools.
