"Microbiome analysis is becoming critical to all aspects of health and environmental science in both academia and industry. However, it requires careful planning in order to be conducted and interpreted appropriately. This guide is an essential tool for anyone planning to conduct a microbiome study, including those with extensive microbiome experience and those with none. It provides practical advice for every step from study design to sample collection to bioinformatics analysis, thereby providing a framework to conduct a rigorous microbiome study. I have no doubt that I will be referring back to this guide in the future!"

This guide is impressive! I am really happy that we have such a free-guide in the market, it is very rich and covers all aspects of a potential microbiome project! Also, it is more than a guide, for me I think it is an excellent reference material to read for students.
