Microbiome Analysis
Microbiome analysis is the process of using molecular methods to identify diversity and abundance of microorganism populations within environmental samples. Methods include metagenomics and amplicon-based techniques.

Join the conversation - all welcome!
The list above is just the beginning and we want to hear from Australian researchers what else is needed to support your microbiome analysis efforts.
Roadmap
We have been engaging with a broad group of Australian researchers since 2020 to develop a Microbiome Infrastructure Roadmap for Australia, which presents a community vision for shared national infrastructure that will help researchers undertake microbiome analyses.
The Roadmap acts as a blueprint to inform the work we do with various partners to deploy the services and resources listed above.
