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.


Services and Resources

Access many microbiome analysis tools (eg. Mothur and Phinch) and the underlying compute power through your web browser

Includes webinars, discussions and workshops themed around microbiome analysis.

Find where microbiome analysis tools are installed and optimised across our national computational partner network.

Freely available via the Galaxy Training Network.

Access optimised microbiome analysis workflows across our partner infrastructures by searching for ‘meta’ in our Workflow Finder


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.
