Core Microbiome Composition

Core microbiome composition is derived from available metagenomic and amplicon sequencing data, calculated based on the relative abundance and coverage of symbionts across different samples. The representativeness of this analysis may vary depending on the number of available samples and should be considered as a reference guide. See calculation details in Help documentation
