An assessment of US microbiome research

I am sharing this article because it enumerates many needs in the microbiome research field that I think the HN crowd would find interesting.

"Most organizations cited a pressing need for the hardware, software and data science for managing microbiome data. This was well expressed by an FDA scientist, who recognized the need for ‘high performance computation resources that are flexible to accommodate a rapidly evolving analytical pipeline’ and ‘cloud computing solutions that overcome confidentiality and privacy concerns’."
