Start year 2012 End year 2015 Funding (€) € 11,496,409 Website https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/287589 Summary Micro B3 is based on a strong user- and data basis from ongoing European sampling campaigns to long-term ecological research sites. For the first time a strong link between oceanographic and molecular microbial research has been established to integrate global marine data with research on microbial biodiversity and functions. The Micro B3 Information System provides innovative open source software for data-processing, -integration, -visualisation, and -accessibility. Interoperability is the key for seamless data transfer of sequence and contextual data to public repositories.
