Metadata of dataset from balanced and confounded scenarios. <br> A subset of datasets from the full datasets to create balanced and confounded scenarios for assessing the pros and cons of the BECAs. In the balanced experiment scenario, 15 batches of data were used for each omics type, with each batch containing three study groups (D5, F7, and M8) and one replicate per group. In the confounded experiment scenario, the same 15 batches of data were used for each omics type, with each batch containing three replicates from one of the three study groups (D5, F7, or M8). Additionally, the three replicates from the arbitrarily selected reference group (D6) in each batch were employed for reference-based BECAs. Therefore, 45 study samples and 45 reference samples in balanced and confounded scenarios were employed at each omics level.
