The biosphere of planet Earth is dominated by microorganisms that answer changes in their environment and by doing so; they also shape the environment at local and global scales. It's crucial to know all biotic and abiotic components of individual systems and the way they're interconnected at resolution from a single-cell to a whole-system level. Recent advances in experimental and computational biology have provided us with the tools to get large sets of biological data, analyse and process them into accessible and standardized formats, and formulate hypotheses that require to be tested experientially using consistent procedures, which shall eventually cause improved algorithms and models.
