The partnership will include collaborative R&D, consultancy work, licensing, as well as deploying Eagle's hosting and networking capabilities. It will also provide strategic insight as part of a steering group on new pipelines, the organizations said in a joint statement.

This could include research into the following areas:

• Classification and genome reconstruction in complex environments
• Biological signaling network resources for human and model organisms
• Global patterns of antimicrobial resistance found in microbes
• The persistence and evolution of human-associated microbes
