Gut microbiome of infants at 3, 6, and 12 months of age, with different dietary interventions. Raw sequence reads

We sought to determine how the infant gut microbiota evolve during infancy, in particular in relation to hygiene-related environmental factors, allergic and atopic disorders, and a randomized dietary intervention. Therefore, 288 healthy, exclusively breastfed infants were enrolled in a dietary intervention study from three months of age. 70 were followed up at six and twelve months to study the evolution of their gut microbiota, using 16S ribosomal RNA gene targeted amplicon sequencing.
