More funding for our BeeBiome Data Portal!
We are delighted to announce that two of our members, Rodrigo Ortega-Polo and Marc Robinson-Rechavi, got their proposal accepted by Genome Alberta. Congratulation to both, and also all our members that contributed to the redaction of the proposal.
Rodrigo & Marc will lead a working group to help for the establishment of our data portal, which will allow analysis and sharing of information on the microorganisms and viruses associated with bees.
The outcome of the project will be greater accessibility to bee microbiome data and its use for new scientific discoveries and for translation efforts. This increased accessibility will benefit the scientific community, stakeholders and policy makers by enabling data-driven approaches to decision making regarding bee health.
