mOTUs Table#

../_images/navigation_guide_motu_table.png

The following table provides a description of each column in the mOTU collection:

Field Name

Type

Description

mOTU4

str

Unique identifier for the mOTU (compatible with versions 4.0 and 4.1).

Domain

str

Taxonomic domain assigned to the mOTU, derived from GTDB R226.

Phylum

str

Taxonomic phylum assigned to the mOTU, derived from GTDB R226.

Class

str

Taxonomic class assigned to the mOTU, derived from GTDB R226.

Order

str

Taxonomic order assigned to the mOTU, derived from GTDB R226.

Family

str

Taxonomic family assigned to the mOTU, derived from GTDB R226.

Genus

str

Taxonomic genus assigned to the mOTU, derived from GTDB R226.

Species

str

Taxonomic species assigned to the mOTU, derived from GTDB R226.

MicrobeAtlas

link

External link to the MicrobeAtlas database; returns a dash (-) if no mapping is available.

Representative

str

Identifier for the genome designated as the high-quality cluster representative for this mOTU.

Genome Table#

../_images/navigation_guide_genome_table.png

The following table defines the metadata fields and quality metrics associated with the individual genomes (MAGs, SAGs, and isolates) in the collection.

Field Name

Data Type

Description

Genome

str

Unique identifier or name of the individual genome.

Domain

str

Taxonomic domain derived from GTDB R226.

Phylum

str

Taxonomic phylum derived from GTDB R226.

Class

str

Taxonomic class derived from GTDB R226.

Order

str

Taxonomic order derived from GTDB R226.

Family

str

Taxonomic family derived from GTDB R226.

Genus

str

Taxonomic genus derived from GTDB R226.

Species

str

Taxonomic species derived from GTDB R226.

mOTU4

str

The mOTU identifier (versions 4.0 and 4.1) to which this genome belongs.

Sample

str

The origin of the genomic data: the metagenomic sample for MAGs, or the source sample for Isolates/SAGs.

Study

str

The primary study or dataset from which the genome was recovered.

Q-Score

float

Integrated quality metric calculated as: \(Completeness - (5 \times Contamination)\).

Completeness

float

Estimated genome completeness percentage (0–100), determined by CheckM or Anvi’o.

Contamination

float

Estimated genomic contamination percentage (0–100), determined by CheckM or Anvi’o.

N50

int

Assembly quality metric; the length of the shortest scaffold such that 50% of the total assembly length is contained in scaffolds of this size or larger.

#Scaffolds

int

The total number of scaffolds in the genome assembly.

MAG

bool

Boolean flag; True if the genome is a Metagenome-Assembled Genome, False otherwise.

Is Rep

bool

Boolean flag; True if this specific genome is the designated representative for its mOTU cluster.

Representative

str

The name of the genome designated as the cluster representative for the associated mOTU.
