Stool samples were collected from 2,509 Estonian Biobank participants. The shotgun metagenomic paired-end sequencing was performed by Novogene Bioinformatics Technology Co., Ltd. using the Illumina NovaSeq6000 platform, resulting in 4.62 ± 0.44 Gb of data per sample (insert size, 350 bp; read length, 2 × 250 bp). A total of 2,513 samples belonging to 2,509 individuals were sequenced, including 4 biological replicates from one individual. First, the reads were trimmed for quality and adapter sequences. The host reads that aligned to the human genome were removed using SOAP2.21 (parameters: -s 135 -l 30 -v 7 -m 200 -x 400).EGA dataset EGAD00001008448
