As more and more microbial genomic data is generated, we face the challenge of discovering resources relevant to our questions. Brown will talk about a project in his lab aimed at building a sustainable and decentralized infrastructure for searching all public – and maybe even private – microbial genome resources using the open source ‘sourmash’ project, and he will describe some of the interim results of the project. Brown will also discuss the roles that Data Commonses can play in maintaining and evolving these open resources, and he will share some of the community-based sustainability work being explored as part of the NIH Data Commons project.
C. Titus Brown is an Associate Professor in the School of Veterinary Medicine at UC Davis, where he works on methods in data intensive research across the biosciences, computer science, and software engineering. He is surprisingly passionate about open science and sociotechnical systems for community development of research infrastructure, and he blogs regularly on these topics at ivory.idyll.org/blog/. All of his software is open source at github.com/dib-lab/, and he is on Twitter at @ctitusbrown.
