From Data to Discovery: Unlocking the Potential of Host-Associated Microbiomes. Use Cases and Services by NFDI4Microbiota

Vast amount of microbial data is generated all around the world. Reliable and reproducible practices from sample collection to data curation and analysis are needed to conduct good scientific research. Not only is it important to extract relevant information from your datasets, but it is equally important to look at the context of your research. During this conference, you will learn about and share different aproaches to unlocking the potential of host-associated microbiomes and to leverage your data to the fullest. Who can you meet? Sharing expertise on Research & image data management and annotation by "LichenMetaImage - Imaging of natural microbial networks of lichen". Tools to setting up FAIR metaproteomics projects and agreeing on metadata standards by "MetaProt - Functional profiling and routine diagnosis of humane microbiomes by metaproteomics". Making sense of metagenomic data and saving all relevant information by "MetaProv - Provenance and usage of metagenome data" Transforming microbiology data to Linked Open Data enabling machine-interoperable access and big data analysis by "MicrobioKGs - Knowledge Graph applications in Microbiology" Accessing and submitting curated virus data according to high-quality metastandards by "VirJenDB - Curated virus database" Join us to exchange insights on data search engines, on improving bacterial taxonomic and functional descriptions and much more. Target Audience: Microbiologists/ wetlab researchers, bioinformaticians, and data curators interested in powerful data analysis tools and FAIR efforts contributing to community-driven research tools and databases. We welcome early-stage researchers and those with advanced knowledge alike!
