Cataloging metagenome-assembled genomes and microbial genes from the athlete gut microbiome.

ABSTRACT: Aim: Exercise has been increasingly recognized as a potential influencer of the gut microbiome. Nevertheless, findings remain incongruous, particularly in relation to sport-specific patterns. Methods: In this study, we harness all publicly available data from athlete gut microbiome shotgun studies to explore how exercise may influence the gut microbiota through metagenomic assembly supplemented with short read-based taxonomic profiling. Through this analysis, we provide insights into exercise-associated taxa and genes, including the identification and annotation of putative novel species from the analysis of approximately 2,000 metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs), classified as high-quality (HQ) MAGs and assembled as part of this investigation. Results: Our metagenomic
