Behind the scenes at the Earth Microbiome Project by @gilbertjacka
Note – Jonathan Eisen invited Jack Gilbert to write a post about the Earth Microbiome Project especially in light of the recent paper on the topic by Gilbert et al. (see Eisen’s blog post about this paper here). Post by Jack Gilbert submitted by email to Jonathan Eisen. The Earth Microbiome Project started as …
MoBE Metadata Resources
Metadata collected for MoBE studies can be organized and submitted to QIIME utilizing the MIxS-BE metadata standard. Templates for data submission and a Metadata Standard Submission Guide (see below) will be posted to microbe.net Resources. Please contact Lynn Schriml (lschriml@som.umaryland.edu) for questions regarding mapping your data to the MIxS metadata standard or Gail Ackermann (gail.ackermann@colorado.edu) at QIIME …
New Sloan-funded project: Enabling Standard Metadata Capturing across projects, the MIxS Built Environment metadata project.
Just received word about a newly funded project to standardize metadata collection within the microbiology of the built environment community. This project is being undertaken by Lynn Schriml at the University of Maryland and her description is below: This metadata standards project, led by Lynn Schriml (University of Maryland School of Medicine, Institute for Genome …
I never meta data I didn’t like – especially re: standards for the built environment #IndoorMicro
New paper out from the microbiology of the built environment community: MIxS-BE: a MIxS extension defining a minimum information standard for sequence data from the built environment. The joint first authors are Elizabeth Glass and Yekaterina Dribinsky. And the senior author is Lynn Schriml. The paper is simple but I think very important – it describes …
