Read about the COMPARE project in the European Molecular Biology Laboratory’s magazine ‘Etc.’
In the article ‘Microbiomes: Our humble overlords, COMPARE’s work on genome sequencing and rapid data sharing to speed up the detection of infectious disease outbreaks is highlighted.
Workpackage 9 Leader, Guy Cochrane, is quoted in the article.
“In COMPARE, our colleagues are using advanced methods, including some developed in Rob’s team, sharing data as it is generated and using our cloud compute for some of the analyses. So they don’t have to worry about the infrastructure – they can get on with figuring out how these things are moving from place to place and evolving,” says Cochrane.
Workpackage 9’s objective is to develop the COMPARE data and information platform.
