Our Nuffield students analysed the Krona chart of the DNA sequencing results for the soil samples collected so far as part of our project, each student with a different scientific aim. The Krona chart shows the number of DNA reads found in each soil sample from all of the microbes present in the soil and gives information about the microbes present from kingdom to species level.
This was important original research contribution as it was the first time that our bioinformatics results have been investigated. Read more about on our scientific results page or follow the links below to go directly to their results. The Krona chart is available if you want to investigate the results yourself!
