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