TL;DR
This study uses shotgun metagenomic sequencing to explore microbial communities in university buildings in Tokyo.
Contribution
The novelty lies in providing metagenomic data from diverse surfaces and air in Japanese university campuses.
Findings
Shotgun sequencing revealed distinct microbial profiles across different surfaces and air samples.
The data contribute to understanding microbial diversity in built environments.
Results highlight variations in microbial communities within university campuses.
Abstract
We obtained shotgun metagenome sequences from swab samples obtained through 3-minute swabbing of different surfaces and the air within buildings at three university campuses in part of the Greater Tokyo Area in Japan. These data aid in understanding built environment microbial communities and elucidate various microbial profiles across different locations.
