@samlipworth.bsky.socialReposted by @nickdsandy.bsky.socialGreat new work from @dotnagy.bsky.social who has developed EpiSENTRY which performs sample size calculations for public health WGS surviellance studies. She applies to data from the NEKSUS study to estimate how much sequencing is enough for GNBSI surviellance in England. @modmedmicro.bsky.social
@mabi-behruznia.bsky.socialReposted by @nickdsandy.bsky.socialCan we move beyond cutoffs and heuristic thresholds for validating metagenomic results?
Our new preprint introduces MAVI, providing error-controlled validation at both the organism and sample levels without relying on fixed thresholds.
