The DTU Genomic Proficiency Test 2020 has been launched, and you can sign-up from now until 31st of January 2020.
What is the DTU Genomic PT?
This inter-laboratory performance test is provided to facilitate harmonization and standardization in whole genome sequencing and data analysis, with the aim to produce comparable data for monitoring and research purposes. The proficiency test (PT) represents an important tool for the evaluation and production of reliable laboratory results of consistently good quality within the area of DNA preparation, sequencing, and analysis.
The DTU Genomic PT focuses on Salmonella enterica, Escherichia coli and Campylobacter coli and C. jejuni, and allows for sign-up for each species separately.
Sign-up for the DTU Genomic PT 2020 is now open.
To sign-up to participate (sign-up deadline 31st of January 2020), please contact the DTU Genomic PT 2020 coordinator, Susanne Karlsmose Pedersen (suska@food.dtu.dk).
