Benchmarking Study of Best Computational Tools for Metagenomic Research Completed

Scientists, including a team from the U.S Department of Energy Joint Genome Institute (DOE JGI), reported the results of the Critical Assessment of Metagenome Interpretation (CAMI) Challenge, a benchmarking study of computational tools for metagenomes. The CAMI Challenge was led by Alexander Sczyrba, Ph.D., head of the computational metagenomics group at Bielefeld University, and Alice McHardy, Ph.D., head of the Computational Biology of Infection Research Lab at the Helmholtz Centre for Infecti
