"ranslating microbiome research into routine applications depends on robust methods for data generation and interpretation. Yet, metagenomic sequencing is uniquely vulnerable to the introduction of bias and contamination creating a need for standardized workflows and controls.

In this presentation, the transformative application of microbiome analysis in diagnostics, drug development, public health, agriculture, and water safety will be discussed. Potential error modes and strategies to control the sequencing and analysis workflow will be surveyed."

"As an extension of last year's webinar "Deployment Strategies and Integration of Other Clinical Specialties into a VNA", this webinar will discuss how to create your standard data model, data flow and workflow, when building an imaging platform across several vendors.

We will examine the normalization methods, standards gaps and approaches to building an extensible model. We will also discuss how the new platform will carry you into the artificial intelligence/machine learning revolution while supporting your clinical practice."
