Abstract

We reconstructed 19,084 prokaryotic and 31,395 viral genomes from 787 Japanese gut metagenomes as Japanese metagenome-assembled genomes (JMAG) and Japanese Virus Database (JVD), which are large microbial genome datasets for a single population. Population-specific enrichment of the Bacillus subtilis and β-porphyranase among the JMAG could derive from the Japanese traditional food natto (fermented soybeans) and nori (laver), respectively. Dairy-related Enterococcus_B lactis and Streptococcus thermophilus were nominally associated with the East Asian-specific missense variant rs671:G>A in ALDH2, which was associated with dairy consumption. Of the species-level viral genome clusters in the JVD, 62.9% were novel. The β crAss-like phage composition was low among the Japanese but relatively high among African and Oceanian peoples. Evaluations of the association between crAss-like phages and diseases showed significant disease-specific associations. Our large catalog of virus-host pairs identified the positive correlation between the abundance of the viruses and their hosts.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
