This page lists experimental SOPs from external sources. More community-shared protocols can be found on NFDI4Microbiota’s protocols.io workspace
The protocols from the International Human Microbiome Consortium IHMS and the Earth Microbiome Project EMP are well-established and experimentally validated for their given fields, human and earth microbiome research respectively.
Protocols from other sources, especially if provided by NFDI4Microbiota community members, have been successfully implemented and shared by individuals working in their given fields.
