ABSTRACT
The Animal Meta-omics landscape database (AnimalMetaOmics, https://yanglab.hzau.edu.cn/animalmetaomics#/) is a comprehensive and freely available resource that includes metagenomic, metatranscriptomic, and metaproteomic data from various non-human animal species and provides abundant information on animal microbiomes, including cluster analysis of microbial cognate genes, functional gene annotations, active microbiota composition, gene expression abundance, and microbial protein identification. In this work, 55 898 microbial genomes were annotated from 581 animal species, including 42 924 bacterial genomes, 12 336 virus genomes, 496 archaea genomes and 142 fungi genomes. Moreover, 321 metatranscriptomic datasets were analyzed from 31 animal species and 326 metaproteomic datasets from four animal species, as well as the pan-genomic dynamics and compositional characteristics of 679 bacterial species and 13 archaea species from animal hosts. Researchers can efficiently access and acquire the information of cross-host microbiota through a user-friendly interface, such as species, genomes, activity levels, expressed protein sequences and functions, and pan-genome composition. These valuable resources provide an important reference for better exploring the classification, functional diversity, biological process diversity and functional genes of animal microbiota.

CRAMdb (a database for composition and roles of animal microbiome) is a comprehensive resource of curated and consistently annotated metagenomes for non-human animals. It focuses on the composition and roles of the microbiome in various animal species. The main goal of the CRAMdb is to facilitate the reuse of animal metagenomic data, and enable cross-host and cross-phenotype comparisons. To this end, we consistently annotated microbiomes (including 16S, 18S, ITS and metagenomics sequencing data) of 516 animals from 475 projects spanning 43 phenotype pairs to construct the database that is equipped with 9430 bacteria, 278 archaea, 2216 fungi and 458 viruses. CRAMdb provides two main contents: microbiome composition data, illustrating the landscape of the microbiota (bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses) in various animal species, and microbiome association data, revealing the relationships between the microbiota and various phenotypes across different animal species. More importantly, users can quickly compare the composition of the microbiota of interest cross-host or body site and the associated taxa that differ between phenotype pairs cross-host or cross-phenotype. CRAMdb is freely available at (http://www.ehbio.com/CRAMdb).
