About
Cefas awarded a contract to Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona (UAB) for specialised services to generate 16S rRNA sequence data from river water samples and conduct bioinformatic analyses of 16S rRNA and whole genome sequences via a customised pipeline.
The contract, valued at £50,000, includes developing a machine-learning method for rapid analysis and interpretation of 16S data, along with a dashboard and customised web platform for visualisation of 16S and microbial genomic results.
This supports the Pathogen Surveillance in Agriculture, Food and Environment (PATHSAFE) programme's pilot surveillance studies for key foodborne disease pathogens, aiming to predict the risk of foodborne disease in river catchments and shellfish harvesting areas.
