摘要

非洲特有微生物组参考基因组的需求至关重要，因为它们的缺失限制了卫生、农业和可持续性方面的研究。目前的全球指导方针往往没有考虑到该地区的独特需求。本评论倡导以非洲为重点的微生物组倡议和社区驱动的基因组项目，以更好地反映非洲大陆的生态和人口多样性，从而产生更适用的结果。

Bridging data gaps: African reference genomes advancing inclusive microbiome research.

The need for African-specific microbiome reference genomes is critical as their absence limits research in health, agriculture, and sustainability. Current global guidelines often do not take into account the region's unique needs. This commentary advocates for Africa-focused microbiome initiatives and community-driven genome projects to better reflect the continent's ecological and demographic diversity, leading to more applicable outcomes.
