! Self-contradictory metadata

country: sequence archive and supplementary table disagree for 203 samples (e.g. IT vs CZ) — withheld.

The sources disagree on 203 samples. Where two incompatible values exist for one sample (or one person's samples disagree on sex), neither value is published: the field is left empty here, in the sample sheet and in the downloads. Both sides, with their sources, are in gut_metadata_contradictions.parquet of the data package (what counts as a contradiction).

Archive description

Shotgun metagenomic stool samples from CRC patients enrolled at Masaryk Memorial Cancer Institute (Brno, Czech Republic) from 2015 to 2019. This cohort was established to study the microbiome-CRC link at different stages of the adenoma-carcinoma sequences as part of the ONCOBIOME consortium.

How this project entered the registry

Classified as human gut / stool shotgun DNA metagenome of adult by deterministic_prior with confidence 0.90. Assay shotgun_dna.
