In the sentence beginning ‘The quality of raw sequencing data......’ in this article, the text should have read ‘The quality of raw sequencing data will be assessed using MultiQC (v1.11).²⁷ Host contaminant reads (human DNA) will be filtered out using KneadData (v0.10.0) with Bowtie2 (v2.5.4)²⁸ against the GRCh38 genome reference database. Taxonomic profiling will be performed using MetaPhlAn (v4.0.6), and functional profiling will be conducted using HUMAnN (v3.9). For downstream analysis, the QIIME2 platform (v2024.10) will be employed.^29,30 Alpha and beta diversity metrics will be calculated with the qiime diversity core-metrics-phylogenetic command. Shannon Entropy will be used as representative metrics for alpha diversity, with Box and Whisker plots generated in GraphPad Prism (v10.2.3). BrayCurtis dissimilarity will be used as a representative metric for beta diversity, and a Principal Coordinate Analysis (PCoA) plot will be generated in R (v4.3.1) using the “ggplot2” library’.
