A Sensitivity Analysis of Methodological Variables Associated with Microbiome Measurements

Metadata Updated: September 30, 2025

This repository provides the raw data, analysis code, and results generated during a systematic evaluation of the impact of selected experimental protocol choices on the metagenomic sequencing analysis of microbiome samples. Briefly, a full factorial experimental design was implemented varying biological sample (n=5), operator (n=2), lot (n=2), extraction kit (n=2), 16S variable region (n=2), and reference database (n=3), and the main effects were calculated and compared between parameters (bias effects) and samples (real biological differences). A full description of the effort is provided in the associated publication.
