| contents | <p dir="ltr">The Amazonian soil microbiome harbours a rich genetic diversity of both microbial and fungal mycorrhizal species, with potential uses in medical, pharmaceutical and industrial biotechnology. Climate-induced weather cycle changes, such as drought and soil acidifiction threaten the integrity of this key natural resource. </p> <p dir="ltr">One method to categorise and elucidate species taxonomy, phylogeny and diversity by region is by analysis of environmental DNA, defined as trace genetic material from multiple species that is present in soil, plant matter, water, air, and decaying matter. Understanding eDNA aids with conserving ecosystem health and informing recommendations for sustainable agricultural development. Genetic profiling of the species richness and variety in the Amazonian soil microbiome is a decisive and significant tool in the arsenal of researchers, conservationists and policymakers; direct insights gained from eDNA analysis can inform conservation policy. In coupling eDNA genetic analytics with Biobank sourced data-scaling, ML and biotechnology, regional research capacities can be boosted in tandem with open-access data accessibility. </p> <p> </p> |
