Happy Friday!
Excited to share my summer plans! 🌞
This summer, 3 incredible microbiome study curation teams we'll be selecting, curating, reviewing, analyzing, & expanding two key microbiome databases: cMD & BugSigDB.
A huge thank you to @cibiocm.bsky.social & @bioconductor.bsky.social for making this possible.
