Data Sharing and Reuse Seminar Series BioDIGS: BioDiversity and Informatics for Genomics Scholars

About this Class

Data Sharing and Reuse Seminar Series

Please join us for the June Data Sharing and Reuse Seminar where Micahel Schatz, Ph.D. will be presenting "BioDIGS: BioDiversity and Informatics for Genomics Scholars. This collaborative soil metagenome project focused on understanding soil biodiversity and its impact on human health. BioDIGS partners with the Genomic Data Science Community Network (GDSCN) to engage faculty and students in the genomic data science life cycle. This comprehensive study of soil biodiversity has already revealed significant associations between metagenome diversity and heavy metal content. Long-read sequencing enables the discovery of complete genomes and novel gene sequences, while highlighting the complex relations among different species in the soil. We hope to see you there!
