Join us for our upcoming ISCBacademy Webinar: “Longitudinal genome resolved metagenomics” by Christopher Quince November 30, 2021 at 11:00 AM EST iscb.org/iscbacademy-up…
The results of the second 2nd CAMI challenge are available as preprint at bioRxiv doi.org/10.1101/2021.0…
For the rhizosphere challenge we provide gold standards for short read and hybrid short/long read assemblies as well as a Megahit short read assembly.
Assemblies for second part of CAMI II rhizosphere challenge (profiling, genome binning and taxon binning) are available now at data.cami-challenge.org/participate This part of the CAMI II challenge will close November 30th, 2020.
Due to multiple requests we received from participants we will extend the CAMI 2 plant rhizosphere assembly challenge deadline until September 29th, 2020.
@DavidKoslicki @CAMI_challenge @Alexey_Gurevich A proposal for changing (meta) QUAST metrics when evaluating strains
CAMI2 evaluation meeting happening now! microbiome-cosi.org/cami2-workshop Remote participation is possible (DM @CAMI_challenge for connection information)!
The Rhizosphere Assembly Challenge ends on June 29th, 2020. We will provide assemblies for the binning challenge afterwards.
Our rhizosphere dataset not only includes Illumina and PacBio data, but also Oxford Nanopore long reads.
We are happy to announce our evaluation workshop for the 2nd @CAMI_challenge March 12-13, 2020! For details see microbiome-cosi.org/cami2-workshop
