The complete sequencing of a soil metagenome, (i.e. the genome of all prokaryotes inhabiting the soil environment) is now an achievable objective that requires a strong international collaboration including soil microbiologists, geneticists, bioinformaticians etc. Sequencing of the soil metagenome will represent the third major microbial sequencing effort after the human microbiome and the marine metagenome. The soil environment represents a higher complexity than any other environment on earth and a concerted international effort is required to obtain the soil metagenome.
