OVERVIEW
Mosaic Microbiome Platform
WHY?
Background and motivation
The growth in microbiome research has been fueled by the improvement of sequencing technologies and new computational methods. The impact of these methods have been limited by various factors such as precision, resolution, scalability and usability.
Mosaic hosts competitions to help push the boundaries of metagenomic data analysis and to promote the adoption of standards and best practices in microbiome research.
Mosaic is a secure, flexible and powerful cloud platform that allows researchers to:
- Run established bioinformatic applications and pipelines or develop new ones!
- Compare and benchmark metagenomic analysis tools.
- Build on discoveries through sharing, collaboration, and discussion
