Metagenomics raw data to develop pipeline

Question

[shuksi1984]

I want to build metagenomics pipeline. To start with, need raw data. How to identify and get raw data for bacterial taxaonomy, phylogenetic analysis, and resistance gene identification? I believe for taxonomic classification and phylogenetic analysis, the raw data will have reads from multiple bacterial species whereas for resistance gene identification the raw data can have reads from single or multiple bacterial strain.

You can download metagenomes from e.g. https://www.mg-rast.org/
