The Pathogen DOM is out now in @MicrobioSoc! Putting everything in its place: using the INSDC compliant Pathogen Data Object Model to better structure genomic data submitted for public health applications - go.shr.lc/3TnjpNQ #PHA4GE
Wondering how to submit a new pathogen genome to INSDC? Or, how to build a dashboard to track the evolution of a diverse set of pathogens within the INSDC?🤔 Enter the Pathogen DOM, an open protocol for standardized data sharing. osf.io/5cyu4

Excited to announce the @HealthHolland project ‘Predict and Prevent’ on the integration of pan-genomics, population dynamics and clinical outcomes to elucidate emerging pathogen threats using machine learning.  A partnership between @UniUtrecht, @RIVM and @theiagen.

Our paper examining critical errors in a cancer metagenomics study is now live in @mbiojournal. Work carried out with @StevenSalzberg1 @danbrewer @elapertea @YuchenGe1 @JenniferLu717 and others. Errors in bioinformatics can be subtle but important! doi.org/10.1128/mbio.01607-2…

Nothing could make me happier right now that this bioinformatics pipeline-generated csv file full of TB resistance data. All correct and ready for import into LIMS. All thanks to hard work of @theiagen #ClinicalWGS #TB

Host removal on #metagenomic sequences is an issue that, in my opinion, not enough attention is given. Bede exposes the major issues simply and beautifully in this blog post. A must read for anyone #sequencing!

The development of a standard pathogen data object model is a huge step forward for public health bioinformatics and data integration. This should allow for much more flexible interoperability, help with future-proofing and QMS, and advance both research and public health use.

very interesting read on the issue of removing host contamination (human) from sequencing reads!! I highly recommend you take a look! #metagenomics #bioinformatics
The critique of Poore et al’s Nature paper highlights the dangers of i) metagenomic classification using incomplete indexes and ii) human read subtraction using incomplete reference genomes. Some related thoughts 🧵 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Career highlight to be in some way linked to @donttrythis! Thanks, @molly_j_for the opportunity to highlight @theiagen’s work in public health pathogen genomics
#Bioinformatics is a field that uses principles and approaches from #datascience and #computerscience, which it uses to make sense of large biological data sets. Join us as we interview @kevinlibuit #CTO, on this latest podcast episode of Data Unchained: youtu.be/y9P8INaU_ZI
