Abstract:
Since joining the MetaHIT consortium in 2008 as the only non-EU member, BGI has focused on generating high-quality reference datasets for the metagenomic field, innovating on assembly of metagenomic shotgun sequences and on metagenome-wide association (MWAS) studies. This presentation by Dr. Huijue Jia provides an overview of typical metagenomic studies from samples to relative abundances, with greatly reduced dimensionality through covariation-based binning. With more mechanistic studies emerging in the field, we believe in providing an essential angle from large-scale omics data.
