Founded in 2015, the MetaSUB International Consortium aims to create the world's only longitudinal metagenomic map of mass-transit systems and other public spaces across the globe. While Global City Sampling Day covered over 40 locations, the consortium has partnered with CAMDA for the first-ever multi-city analysis, with an early release of New York City, Boston, and Sacramento exclusive to MetaSUB and CAMDA.

Analysis suggestions:
- Biological: Compare organism fingerprints from public places across cities. Investigate organism sequences and biodiversity vs location. How diverse is each city – in terms of the numbers of bacteria, eukaryotes, viruses, plasmids, and antimicrobial resistance markers (AMRs)? Can we determine if each city has a distinct AMR profile?
- Technical: Which computational tools have the highest sensitivity and specificity for species detection?
