Raw data for metagenomic analyses of environmental samples taken in a pig farm in Spain

<p>Metagenomic study of environmental samples collected at a pig farm in Spain.
This study is part of the HE-FARM project under the Horizon Europe programme, which aims to improve biosecurity on farms.</p>
<p>Bacterial genera present in several areas of a pig farm were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing techniques. Samples were collected from the skin and feces of animals, as well as from surfaces, water, and air. The analyses revealed a strong cor-relation between air and skin samples, supporting the idea that bacterial growth on skin is potentially a mechanism of aerosolization and airborne transport. A water–air trans-mission route also appears to be present, although the direction of the transport mecha-nism cannot yet be determined. Other potential routes, such as contact with surfaces or feces, seem to be less efficient.</p>
<p>This data contains the raw data used for metagenomic analyses (16S) of environmental samples in a pig farm.</p>
<p>It includes the genomic data for each sample analyzed and compared in the study titled 'Skin Aerosolisation Predominance in a Pig Farm'. The data is organized in a way that facilitates further exploration and analysis, ensuring that researchers can effectively utilize it for their own studies.</p>
