The Human Microbiome Project (HMP), funded through the National Institutes of Health Common Fund’s Roadmap for Medical Research, is now releasing reads and assembled sequences from whole metagenome shotgun sequencing of 690 microbiomes and ~ 72 million reads from targeted 16S sequencing of 5034 microbiomes from healthy human subjects for use by the scientific community via the HMP Data Analysis and Coordination Center (DACC), which is located at the Institute for Genome Sciences (IGS) at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
