The GGSouthAsia2024 Call For Projects is NOW CLOSED!
This CFP is managed by the GGSouthAsia2024 committee
GGSouthAsia2024 bacterial genome sequencing
Deadline: Closed (December 19th 2024)
Scope: non-pathogenic, culturable bacteria
Before applying, please do take some time to review our open-science expectations and our organism eligibility information. Eligibility is informed according to the World Bank and modified according to current FCDO advice. We also welcome on a case-by-case, individual requests from unlisted countries and territories in the region, provided they meet the established criteria.
We will only support:
Active, well-described projects on non-pathogenic, culturable bacteria that would benefit from whole genome sequencing.
Projects led by researchers based in South Asia countries. We particularly encourage early-career researchers to apply.
Illumina sequencing of upto 10 strains characterised to species-level by a recognised method (16S rRNA / Biochemical etc.)
Do not apply if:
Your organism of interest is not a non-pathogenic bacteria and your project does not require whole-genome sequencing
You have not characterised/genotyped your organism(s) to species-level
You do not intend to publish your data on open science (free-to-publish, free-to-access) repositories/platforms such as NCBI and Zenodo
