Metagenome-Assembled Genomes (MAGs) and Ecological Metadata of the Microbiome in Irish Beef Processing Chains

Project Summary This dataset provides 4,475 Metagenome-Assembled Genomes (MAGs) recovered from Irish beef production environments. The collection represents a comprehensive genomic catalog of microbial spoilage across different facilities, seasons, and surface types. Bioinformatics Pipeline & Column Definitions: Assembly: MEGAHIT (contig generation). Binning: MetaBAT2 (bin recovery). Quality Metrics: CheckM2 was utilized for the Completeness and Contamination columns. Clustering: SGB_ID (Species Genome Bins) were defined using fastANI. Taxonomy: Lineages assigned via GTDB-tk (Reference Data Version R214). MAG_ID: Matches the filenames in the ZIP archive (excluding the extension). Linkage to Raw Data: All MAGs are linked via the Sample_ID and Run columns to the raw shotgun metagenomic data deposited at NCBI under BioProject PRJNA1233666
