dc.description.abstractThe BioDIGS project is a nationwide initiative involving students, researchers and educators across more than 40 research and teaching institutions. Participants lead sample collection, computational analysis and results interpretation to understand the relationships between the soil microbiome, environment and health.
dc.description.sponsorshipWe would like to thank all the educators and students who contributed to the project, the full list can be found at https://biodigs.org/#team. We would like to thank K. Moffat, W. R. McCombie, S. Goodwin, K. Doheny, D. Mohr, M. Van Oene, K. Liu, J. Korlach, R. Dokos, J. Brayer, N. Lakey, W. Timp and J. Rocha for their helpful discussions and support. We would also like to thank the Galaxy Community, the JHU Genetic Resources Core Facility, the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Genome Center, the Virginia State University Center for Biotechnology, Genomics, and Bioinformatics (CeBiGeBi), Pacific Biosciences, Oxford Nanopore and CosmosID/cmBio for their support of the project.
