Metagenomics analysis for infectious disease

Robert Schlaberg talks about the Taxonomer project on the U of U’s  scope radio. Taxononer is a metagenomic analysis tool developed in collaboration with Robert Schlaberg, Mark Yandell and my group with input from Primary Children’s hospital and the CDC. PhD students Steven Flygare (Human Genetics) and Keith Simmon (BMI) have driven the development of the tool and curation of the databases. The tool essentially offers very fast, hypothesis free analysis of metagenomic samples. We have focussed on several test cases at Primary Children’s.
