BugSigDB: A Comprehensive Database of Published Microbial Signatures

BugSigDB is a new manually curated database of microbial signatures from the published literature of differential abundance studies of human and other host microbiomes. BugSigDB provides:

  • standardized data on geography, health outcomes, host body sites, and experimental, epidemiological, and statistical methods using controlled vocabulary,
  • results on microbial diversity,
  • microbial signatures standardized to the NCBI taxonomy, and
  • identification of published signatures where a microbe has been reported.

You can contribute the results of your study to take advantage of automated analyses and interpretation in the context of the published literature. For an example of a study with extensive data, see The gut microbiota in conventional and serrated precursors of colorectal cancer.
