Protocols
All sampling methods, data generated and analytical workflows for the Australian Microbiome initiative activities are publicly accessible. The requirements for access and use of the data, as well as appropriate acknowledgements in communications that arise from the initiative consortium’s work are defined in the Data policy and Communication policy, and support the collaborative agreement from the initiative.
Initiative workflows
The protocols and workflows underpinning the creation of the Australian Microbiome genomics resource are being collected into a complete scientific manual. As the initiative progresses, the manual will be updated with potential new methods. The current manual contains methods on sample collection, sample processing and sequencing workflows.
🦠 Latest Australian Microbiome scientific manual
All methods used to generate the Australian Microbiome Initiative genomics resource, from collection of samples to sequencing data, are described in the scientific manual. Please note that the manual is regularly updated, the versions are made available through the link above.
🦠 Contextual metadata (schema)
All samples are accompanied by extensive contextual metadata describing the environment in which the sample was collected, including physical, chemical and biological parameters. Please note that the schema may be updated to ensure alignment with international efforts, the versions are made available through the link above.
