![Illustration showing fish bones on the sea floor, surrounded by DNA helix and microbe icons. In the centre is an icon that looks like barrel, with the word MGnify on it, symbolising the MGnify database for microbiome data. On the right are green sachets with the words "protein powder"on them. The illustration is meant to represent some of the elements required when upcycling fish and more generally animal bone into protein powder.](https://www.embl.org/news/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/2024-FINN-Bone-degradation-use-case-1000x600-final-300x180.jpg)
