A new study published in @GigaScience, led by the @LozuponeLab at @CUAnschutz, introduces KG-Microbe: a knowledge graph (KG) framework that harmonizes and standardizes microbial data to support microbiome research.
Read the study and explore KG-Microbe ➡️ cudbmi.info/kg-microbe-4
ALT view of a microbial community through a microscope, which is a white circle in the center of the image. the organisms appear blue dots clustered, with one cluster of darker violet dots.
