12th Global Microbial Identifier Meeting
The Global Microbial Identifier (GMI) is an international consortium of more than 270 scientists in 55 countries galvanized by a single focus: realizing a global genomic infrastructure and database that will enable revolutionary new technology to identify and characterize microorganisms in timely fashion through utilising an international interactive system of DNA databases containing the full genomes of all investigated microbial isolates in the world. The GMI idea represents the notion of global inclusiveness to harness benefit from this novel technology for all mankind, society and the environment. The basis for the GMI vision is in the implementation of next generation DNA sequencing in microbiology labs around the world.
