Microflora Danica is an ambitious initiative to explore, document, and understand the microbial life that thrives across Denmark’s diverse environments through sampling of soils, sediments and waters.
Our mission is to create an open, comprehensive reference catalogue of Denmark’s microbiota using advanced metagenomic sequencing, bioinformatics, and ecological analysis. This project bridges microbiology, genomics, data science, and environmental research, contributing valuable resources to both science and society.
- Catalogue microbial diversity across Denmark’s ecosystems
- Characterise microbial community structures and their ecological roles
- Share high-quality reference data openly with the global scientific community
- Engage the public in understanding the invisible life that sustains our ecosystems
Microflora Danica integrates:
- Environmental sampling (soil, sediment and water)
- Shotgun metagenomic sequencing
- Taxonomic and functional annotation
- Spatial analyses of microbial communities
- Open data standards and FAIR-compliant metadata
Datasets and workflows will be released incrementally through this repository and associated data portals.
If you use our data, tools, or workflows, please cite the appropriate publication.
