A dataset inspired by data collected by the University of Washington (UW) Sexually Transmitted Infections Cooperative Research Center (STICRC). Relative abundance, as measured by broad range 16S sequencing with "universal" primers, is available on 20 samples and 433 taxa, and is is provided in `example_16S_data`.
example_16S_data`example_16S_data`: a tibble with 20 rows and 434 columns, where the first column is the subject identifiers, and each subsequent column is the relative abundance of a particular taxon in a given sample (row).
