Project summary:
To further equitability in microbiome data reuse and illuminate blindspots in microbial diversity sIBTEDs will organize data archiving workshops and data reuse trainings in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa, and support Latin American researchers as they examine the large-scale distribution of soil microbes in South America, particularly in the face of land use change. Together, these activities will greatly increase the amount of both publicly available microbiome data and microbiome synthesis research produced in the Global South.
