🧬 How can information from different sources help us understand public health challenges? Data sharing helps the global pathogen genomics and public health community connect findings, identify patterns, and support informed public health responses.

🧬 What happens after genomic data is generated?

Bioinformatics uses computational methods to process, analyse and interpret that data — helping turn sequencing data into useful information for public health.

🧬 Last time, #GenomicsExplained explored AMR. This week, we’re widening the lens with metagenomics — studying genetic material from multiple organisms within a sample.

Great to see PHA4GE members at GMI16 in Tunis. 🧬🌍

@torstenseemann.bsky.social, @happykhan.mstdn.science.ap.brid.gy, @firefoxx66.bsky.social, @ruthtimme.bsky.social and Heather Carleton-Romer shared work on genomic surveillance, metadata and data sharing.
