Data on gut metagenomes of the patients with alcoholic dependence syndrome and alcoholic liver cirrhosis.
Data in brief 20170117
Alcoholism is associated with significant changes in gut microbiota composition. Metagenomic sequencing allows to assess the altered abundance levels of bacterial taxa and genes in a culture-independent way. We collected 99 stool samples from the patients with alcoholic dependence syndrome (<i>n</i>=72) and alcoholic liver cirrhosis (<i>n</i>=27). Each of the samples was surveyed using "shotgun" (whole-genome) sequencing on SOLiD platform. The reads are deposited in the ENA (project ID: PRJEB180 ...[more]
