The Metagenome-Assembled Genome Inventory for Children (MAGIC) facilitates early-life gut bacteriome and virome studies
Existing microbiota databases are biased towards adult samples, hampering accurate profiling of the infant gut microbiome. Here, we generated a Metagenome-Assembled Genome Inventory for Children (MAGIC) from a large collection of bulk and viral-like particle-enriched metagenomes from 0-7 years of age, encompassing 3,299 prokaryotic and 139,624 viral species-level genomes, 8.5% and 63.9% of which are unique to MAGIC. MAGIC improves early-life microbiome profiling, with the greatest improvement in read mapping observed in Africans. We then identified 54 candidate keystone species, including several Bifidobacterium spp. and four phages, forming guilds that fluctuated in abundance with time. Their abundances were reduced in preterm infants and were associated with childhood allergies. By analyzing the B. longum pangenome, we found evidence of phage-mediated evolution and quorum sensing-related ecological adaptation. Together, the MAGIC database recovers genomes that enable characterization of dynamics of early-life microbiomes, identification of candidate keystone species, and strain-level study of target species.

This table has three parts. The first part lists proteins in the pMAGs and vMAGs (Proteins_in_pMAGs_vMAGs.tsv.gz), whereas the second part provides functional annotations of the non-redundant proteins (Data_S4-12_Annotations_of_MAGIC-Proteins.tsv.gz ). The third part provides the FASTA format sequence of each protein. Users may retrieve the list of genes on a MAG of interest and subsequently refer to the gene annotation table for annotations. Conversely, users may retrieve a list of MAGs carrying the genes of interest.
