Response to Ring: In silico predictive metagenomic analyses highlight key metabolic pathways impacted in the HS skin microbiome

This study included a predictive analysis which utilized a publically-available dataset (Ring et al. 2017) and our dataset that was generated from a prospectively recruited cohort of HS subjects and normal controls (Schneider et al. 2019). These two datasets were generated using the same sequencing method (16S rRNA V3-V4), although the patient demographics, sampling procedures, and body sites sampled varied between them (Table 1a).
