Genomics, Technology & Data Standards
Environmental DNA and genomics technologies, from computational biology tools and bioinformatics workflow to digital data and communications strategies, are critical infrastructure of cutting-edge science labs. Our group has diverse experience helping develop the tools and techniques that allow scientists to work.
While not obvious to the untrained, there is a growing need for the creation and implementation of data standards across all disciplines of science that use digital information. Our lab collaborates to help develop FAIR- and CARE-aligned data standards for Genomic Standards Consortium MIxS packages for eDNA and genomics.
