Of possible interest – a new paper (on which I am a coauthor) on standards for minimum information about single cell genomes and genomes assembled from metagenomes. See link below: Source: Minimum information about a single amplified genome (MISAG) and a metagenome-assembled genome (MIMAG) of bacteria and archaea : Nature Biotechnology : Nature Research

Definitely worth checking this out. NIST is running a meeting on Standards for Microbiome Measurements From the site: This workshop will seek input on defining reference materials, reference data and reference methods for human microbiome community measurements. This workshop is sponsored by NIST and NIH’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the Human Microbiome …
(Update: This is probably at the NIST campus in MD… though it doesn’t actually say on their website) NIST is hosting an interesting sounding workshop on “Standards for Microbiome Measurements“. The workshop will be held on April 4-5th 2016 (presumably on the NIST campus in Boulder, CO). Information about the workshop below: Purpose: This NIST-NIAID workshop will seek …
Metadata collected for MoBE studies can be organized and submitted to QIIME utilizing the MIxS-BE metadata standard. Templates for data submission and a Metadata Standard Submission Guide (see below) will be posted to microbe.net Resources. Please contact Lynn Schriml (lschriml@som.umaryland.edu) for questions regarding mapping your data to the MIxS metadata standard or Gail Ackermann (gail.ackermann@colorado.edu) at QIIME …
Just received word about a newly funded project to standardize metadata collection within the microbiology of the built environment community. This project is being undertaken by Lynn Schriml at the University of Maryland and her description is below: This metadata standards project, led by Lynn Schriml (University of Maryland School of Medicine, Institute for Genome …
There is a new #openaccess article in ISME of great importance to those studying the microbiology of the built environment: The ISME Journal – The genomic standards consortium: bringing standards to life for microbial ecology. This article focuses mostly on those characterizing “marker genes” (i.e., genes of value in phylogenetic characterization of taxa) in some way. …
