The microbiome research field is rapidly evolving, but the required biobanking infrastructure is currently fragmented and not prepared for the biobanking of microbiomes. The rapid advancement of technologies requires an urgent assessment of how biobanks can underpin research by preserving microbiome samples and their functional potential.
微生物组研究领域正在迅速发展，但目前所需的生物库基础设施较为分散，还没有为微生物组的生物库存储做好准备。技术的快速进步需要紧急评估生物库如何通过保存微生物组样本及其功能潜力来为研究提供支持。
