## Probiotics Intervention Data

### Description

The peerj32 data set contains high-through profiling data from 389 human blood serum lipids and 130 intestinal genus-level bacteria from 44 samples (22 subjects from 2 time points; before and after probiotic/placebo intervention). The data set can be used to investigate associations between intestinal bacteria and host lipid metabolism. For details, see http://dx.doi.org/10.7717/peerj.32.

- meta: Sample metadata including time point, sex, subjectID, sampleID and treatment group (probiotic LGG / Placebo)

- phyloseq The microbiome data set converted into a `phyloseq-class` object.
