I agree, it is a very important topic. On point was not discussed enough I think: standardisation of the bioinformatics. While new developments are always happening overall, the 16s sequencing bioinformatics is now mostly established to use ASV or mOTUs based on the DADA2 pipeline. It might be useful to agree at least on a best practice and recommended tools for the bioinformatics as well. This wi ...

This is an important issue. It will be interesting to see/hear how similar the results are from different laboratories using the proposed protocol when analysing the same mock communities or sample(s) in developing/validating the standardised methodology.

Brian Aldridge (University of Illinois) Biological health is a complex topic of discussion and is often misunderstood as existing as a binary state in terms of the presence or absence of disease. In many ways, it is useful to explain health at a population or system level as the existence of individuals in 1 of 3 states: those in a healthy condition, those with a prediseased sta ...

1 IntroductionBy 2050, the world’s population is predicted to increase to 9.8 billion people, threatening food security and causing shifts in consumer purchasing patterns (1, 2). Animal-derived meat products are central to the current food supply, accounting for 40% of the agricultural production value and 13% of the calories consumed globally. Furthermore, based on consumer patterns me ...
