Legacy information

The Australian Microbiome Initiative is an Australian wide collaboration founded on two previous Bioplatforms Australia framework data initiatives: Marine Microbes and Biomes of Australian Soil Environments (BASE). 

All current Australian Microbiome Initiative methods, including some legacy methods, are detailed in the scientific manual found here.

The information below is legacy information which does not reflect the current provided data on the Data Portal, but may be of use as part of past activities.

BASE Methods

• Sample Collection
• Soil chemistry methods
• DNA Extraction
• Bioinformatic Analysis
• Metagenomic Sequencing
