Project GitHub:

Agmicrobiomebase GitHub repository

This site comprises code used for meta-barcode and metagenome sequence data upload to ENA and for sequence data analysis.

ENA upload process description:

PDF document describing practical aspects of the upload process for amplicon sequence files to the European Nucleotide Archive (ENA) for the UK Crop Microbiome Cryobank Project.

Example project partner template:

Example Excel spreadsheet used by SRUC-Hutton partners to record amplicon and metagenome sequence information. The agmicrobiomebase data catalogue integrated 4 partner templates to allow access to the complete project data using a PowerBi interface.

Spreadsheet for data integration for BioSamples:

Example bespoke Excel spreadsheet provided to the BioSamples database to link the soil (parent) with the plant (child) samples for the UK Crop microbiome cryobank project.
