Benchmarking bioinformatic pipelines used in foodborne pathogen surveillance

The project: Phylogenies are important tools for foodborne pathogen surveillance; they allow us to track foodborne pathogens around the world as they move along the food supply chain. There are many ways to construct a phylogeny...but which is the best? In this project, you'll be comparing different bioinformatic pipelines for constructing phylogenies, using whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data derived from foodborne pathogens (e.g., Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, Escherichia coli)--all with the goal of finding the pipeline(s) that reign supreme! 👑

Required educational background: Any STEM discipline 😊

Required programming skills: None (some knowledge of any programming language is beneficial, but not necessary, for this project 😊)
