Introducing the UK Crop Microbiome Cryobank data resource, AgMicrobiomeBase, with case studies and methods on metabarcoding analyses
The UKCMCB provides baseline data and resources to enable researchers to assess the impact of soil type, location and crop type variables on crop soil microbiomes. The resource can be used to address biological questions and cross-study comparisons. Development of the UKCMCB will continue with the addition of metagenome and bacterial isolate genomic sequence data and has the potential to integrate additional data types including microbial phenotypes and synthetic microbial communities.
