summary
National Microbiome Data Collaborative builds a searchable data catalog that reprocesses raw reads with uniform QC and annotation pipelines, links genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes and metabolomes, and exposes metadata like location, pH and protocol. Current footprint includes 13 petabytes at the Joint Genome Institute and estimating a full microbial catalog would need a yottabyte. Engineering uses high-performance tiered tape storage and distributed repositories; early work aggregates datasets from two national user facilities but metadata linking often fails, so the platform is partially working and actively evolving.
