Abstract:
While microbiota plays a crucial role in maintaining overall health, archaea, a component of microbiota, remain relatively unexplored. Here, we present a newly assembled set of archaeal metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from 1,878 fecal microbiome samples. These MAGs were reconstructed from metagenomic reads of the Estonian Microbiome Deep (EstMB-deep) cohort, which were reused here specifically for archaeal MAG reconstruction. We identified 273 archaeal MAGs, representing 21 species and 144 strains which we curated into the "EstMB MAGdb Archaea-273" MAGs collection.
