Anthony FullamiD, V. K.iD, Michael KuhniD, Peer Bork BiD, Thomas SchmidtiD
Abstract
SummaryWe introduce microntology v1.0, a pragmatic controlled vocabulary of 148 terms to describe microbial habitats and lifestyles, and provide manually curated microntology annotations for >300k metagenomic samples from public repositories. Data Availabilitymicrontology controlled vocabulary terms and term hierarchies 1, and curated annotations for 305,626 metagenomic samples 2 are available via Zenodo and as supplemental tables S1 and S2. User feedback, suggestions and bug reports are welcome under https://github.com/grp-schmidt/microntology/issues.
