miMatch: A microbial metabolic background matching tool bolstering the causal link between microbiota and human disease in metagenomics

We developed a novel microbial metabolic background matching tool, namely miMatch (https://github.com/ddhmed/miMatch), to match microbial case and control samples, thereby strengthening the causality of metagenomics research.

• miMatch.py is the core algorithm file of miMatch.
• config.ini is the configuration file for the algorithm.
• /SimulatedDataset provides several sets of simulated data.
• /curatedMetagenomicData provides several metagenomic studies from curatedMetagenomicData.
• /Analysis provides the original analysis codes.
• /Figures provides the code of figures in the manuscript.
