Improvement of next-generation sequencing methods for the detection of zoonotic pathogens (ZooSeq)

Project


Project code: 2819114019
Contract period: 01.12.2019 - 30.11.2022
Budget: 396,997 Euro
Purpose of research: Experimental development
Keywords: knowledge transfer, prevention, diagnostics, microorganisms, species in general, zoonosis

The overall goal of the application is to cross-link projects supported by the 'Forschungsnetz Zoonosen' to reach technological and methodological efforts based on the various experiences existing for the NGS technology. Guiding premise is the cross-sectional character for bacteriology and virology as well as the use of innovative sequencing and analyses approaches, which serve an improvement within the zoonosis network. The application is based on the outcome of an expert workshop. The project serves the establishment of modern and efficient workflows based on the NGS-experienced applicants‘ competence and expertise. Samples or questions from zoonosis projects might be implemented for validation purposes. All zoonosis projects can then use the optimised sequencing options (SOPs, technologies, pipelines) in order to accelerate NGS-based research and diagnostics within the 'Forschungsnetz Zoonosen'.
