Systematic detection of abnormal samples reveals widespread mislabeling in metagenomic studies

2026-03-25

Abstract excerpt

The human microbiome plays a critical role in health and disease, and its dynamic nature has made longitudinal sampling a key strategy for elucidating microbiome–disease relationships. Although the gut microbiome generally stabilizes over time, a subset of samples frequently shows marked deviations from an individual’s baseline profile. We refer to these as abnormal samples . To analyze these abnormal samples, we...
