Towards a unified data infrastructure to support European and global microbiome research: a call to action

Description

High-quality microbiome research relies on the integrity, management and quality of supporting data. Currently biobanks and culture collections have different formats and approaches to data management. This necessitates a standard data format to underpin
research, particularly in line with the FAIR data standards of findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability. We address the importance of a unified, coordinated approach that ensures compatibility of data between that needed by biobanks and culture
collections, but also to ensure linkage between bioinformatic databases and the wider research community.
