The planktonic microbiome of the Great Barrier Reef
TL;DR - Nature introduces a genomic database spanning prokaryotic, viral, and eukaryotic plankton from Great Barrier Reef seawater. The resource supports marine microbiome research and reef ecosystem management.
- Integrates genomes from three major microbial groups.
- Focuses on planktonic communities across the Great Barrier Reef.
- Enables ecosystem-level microbial studies using a shared genomic resource.
- May inform future reef monitoring and management research.
