Global Microbial Identifier

GMI envisions a global system of DNA genome databases for microbial and infectious disease identification and diagnostics. Such a system will benefit those tackling individual problems at the frontline, clinicians, veterinarian, etc., as well as policy-makers, regulators, and industry.

By enabling access to this global resource, a professional response on health threats will be within reach of all countries with basic laboratory infrastructure.
