Explanation of Table Columns

  • Taxa: Represents the name of the bacterial taxa in a hierarchical format. Includes:
    • g__: Specific genus
    • s__: Specific species
    • t__: Specific strain
    Example: g__Escherichia;s__coli;t__K12
  • S.D. People Percentile Score: The percentile ranking of the bacterial taxa among individuals with the standard deviation (S.D.) population profile. Higher scores indicate a more prominent presence in the S.D. population.
  • Count of Top 5 Study Occurrences: The number of studies where the taxa appeared in the top 5 taxa of the S.D. population distribution, highlighting its prominence across studies.
  • Count of Study Occurrences: The total number of studies in which the taxa was identified. The database currently includes data from 10 Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) studies.
  • Consistency: A measure of the taxa’s prominence across studies, calculated as:
    Consistency = Count of Top 5 Study Occurrences ÷ Count of Study Occurrences
    A higher score indicates consistent prominence across studies.
