Pathogen surveillance relies on fast and accurate data analysis, but NGS pipelines can be complex and resource-intensive. Our event will show how @bugseq simplifies analysis for organism identification, AMR detection, and outbreak tracking.

At #ECCMID2023 ? Come check out our poster P1840 from now until 1:30pm! We optimized and performance tested an end-to-end mNGS assay for respiratory viral detection @bugseq @BARDA @MangesLab
BugSeq retweeted
As far as my experience with the tool @bugseq is a very reliable way to analyze sequencing data (i tried with @nanopore). Definetily worth a shot.
Attending #ECCMID2023? Stop by booth B4-11 to learn about our leading bioinformatics platform, ask the experts about your project and grab some swag. @ESCMID

We put @BugSeq to the test for metagenomic read classification, and they delivered. BugSeq was a top-performing method, achieving perfect precision and high recall for all #PacBio HiFi datasets, and demonstrated the power of using long reads for microbial species detection.
BugSeq is excited to partner with @PacBio as a leading analysis provider for microbial sequencing data 🦠

BugSeq has received funding from @HHSGov BARDA to develop a nanopore sequencing-based test with the potential to identify all respiratory RNA viruses. Building on previous #SARSCoV2 research BugSeq could enable early ID of infections from pathogens: bit.ly/3MSQ5IC

How do we change the paradigm of care for viral infections when testing is limited? #DRIVe is collaborating w/ multiple partners to advance next-generation sequencing diagnostic technologies to detect known & novel respiratory RNA viruses. Read more: medicalcountermeasures.gov/n…

Top performers are long read methods including @bugseq and MEGAN-LR (using DIAMOND to NCBI nr), which had very high precision and solid recall (with no filtering necessary!). MMseqs2 and MetaMaps required some filtering to reduce false positives, but they also performed well. 2/8

#metagenomics tool update: New plots to show details of MAGs from metagenome assembly! Example plots from @PacBio sequencing of herbivorous mammal gut microbiome, assembled with #hifiasm-meta. Generated 145 HQ MAGs in total, with 56 single-contig MAGs! Long reads for the win!
