> In our Bioinformatics sub-group we want to prioritize topics and potential projects related to:
> 
> - Consensus metagenomics pipelines.
> - Reference genome databases.
> - AI/ML risk detection algorithms.
> - Public data/protocol sharing via NASA OSDR and metadata standards, etc.
> 
> We are interested in e.g.:
> 
> - Developing new algorithms
> - Benchmarking (new or existing)
> - Integrating and consensus
> - Applying (New comparisons, space vs cleanroom vs hospital data, large-scale data mining)
> - bridging with other subgroups (ie. large scale mining of blanks in MGnify in dialog with the nucleic acid sub-group)
> 
> See you!
