Citing CAMI and CAMI II

The MP test inputs come from the CAMI II human-microbiome collection (Meyer et al., 2022). The original CAMI publication describes the initiative and its first benchmark (Sczyrba et al., 2017); it is not a claim that MP’s test subset comes from the first challenge.

Use the study citations and dataset DOI when describing these inputs. The bundled subset and its transformations are documented in the bundle README.
