Gut microbiome pattern reflects healthy ageing and predicts survival in humans.

"asv abundances from the american gut project were obtained from the 125bp biom table deposited in figshare [6137192] provided in the original manuscript by mcdonald et al .; metadata for study participants was obtained from the table provided in the same publication and also deposited in figshare [6137315] .; the american gut project biom table and the accompanying metadata is publicly available through figshare reference numbers [6137192] 49 and [6137192] 50 respectively."

"code availability: code used to process gut microbiome samples is available on the gibbons lab github page ( https://github com/gibbons-lab/mbtools ) and code used for statistical analysis is available through the hood-price lab github ( https://github com/pricelab/agingmicrobiome )."
