The NIH Common Fund Human Microbiome Project (HMP) was established in 2008, with the mission of generating resources that would enable the comprehensive characterization of the human microbiome and analysis of its role in human health and disease. The HMP is an interdisciplinary effort funded by the NIH Common Fund. HMP1 included four sequencing centers — the Broad Institute, the Baylor College of Medicine, Washington University School of Medicine, and the J. Craig Venter Institute, the Data and Analysis and Coordination Center (DACC), and several investigators.
The data used for the analyses described in this manuscript were obtained from the HMP DCC FTP server and staged to dedicated shared storage at UAB in order to better facilitate researcher access to important public data. These locally hosted data are documented and supported by the Department of Biomedical Informatics and Data Science’s‘s U-BRITE team and infrastructure.
