2023-05-04 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York)
Join a discussion led by Dr. Anthony Fodor, Lead of the Data Analytics Core, concerning reducing contaminants in sequence libraries. Dr. Fodor will talk about two recent publications:
Contamination source modeling with SCRuB improves cancer phenotype prediction from microbiome data: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41587-023-01696-w
Contamination in Low Microbial Biomass Microbiome Studies: Issues and Recommendations: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30497919/
This is an important event within PreMiEr to begin creating best practices in the sampling and analyses of built environment microbiomes and all researchers involved in collecting data of that type are strongly encouraged to attend.
