Abstract:SummaryDeep metagenomic data from population studies enables genome recovery and construction of population-specific references, including new species and uncovering microbial diversity that global references might miss. We constructed an Estonian population-specific reference of metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) from 1,878 stool samples of the EstMB-deep cohort. We assembled 84,762 MAGs, representing 2,257 species, including 353 potentially novel species (15.6%). Additionally, 607 species (26.9%) were not p… Show more
