ProtoBIOME: Describing the unknown

The majority of microbes have yet to be described! It is these unknown bacteria that ProtoBIOME aims to describe. For this, we provide the building blocks but ask your to help! By watching the training videos below you will learn how to join.

Environment:

Human gut

ProtoBIOMEs first environment to study is the human gut where there are over 1,000 novel prokaryotic species! Within ProtoBIOME we aim to provide detailed taxonomic, functional and ecological description of these species.

ProtoBIOME data: Human gut

Each of these 'batches' contain the Protologger output for 25 MAGs reconstructed from the human gut.

What is Protologger?

This video details how Protologger works and what output you can expect to see for each MAG.
