Here the authors present a large-scale resource of the early-life human gut microbiome from children under three years old, which comprises 32,277 metagenome-assembled gut genomes, representing 2172 species, and more than 80 million gut proteins representing >4 million protein clusters, spanning multiple clinical factors including age, delivery mode, gestational age, and feeding patterns.
