The HMP mock communities and sequencing protocols are described at HMPDACC.

Titanium reads
I used reads obtained with V3-V5 primers only.

MiSeq reads
The MiSeq reads are from Bokulich et al., 2013. According to the paper:

Raw data can be found in the QIIME database (http://microbio.me/qiime/) under the following study identifiers, where data set number can be found in Supplementary Table 7: data set 1, 719; data set 2, 1685; data set 3, 1686; data set 4, 1626; data set 5, 1687; data set 6, 1688; data set 7, 1683; data set 8, 1684; data set 9, 1689; and data set 10, 1690.

At the time of writing, I am not able to access the QIIME database. If I can find working URLs for the reads, I will update this page.
