African Soil Microbiology Project
Note from Don Cowan Director of the project: "As of December 2018, the AfSM project is on schedule. The 10 project partners across the African continent have collected nearly 1000 soil samples from across their respective nations. The samples have been shipped to the University of Pretoria for metagenomic DNA extraction and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, together with physicochemical analyses. Both DNA sequence and chemical data sets are now complete, and data analyses will start in the New Year."
