“The goal is to turn data into information, and information into insight.”
This online resource gives an overview of the information, data and results generated by the PuntSeq team. Learn all about the outcomes of our citizen science project and get some personal hands on time with our data and analysis workflows.
Access our generated sequencing data, follow our experimental workflow and bioinformatic pipelines to unravel the hidden bacterial complexity of the Cam microbiome or simply use our resources to learn how to design and analyse your own metagenomics study using Nanopore sequencing.
Microbiome of the Cam
We are currently working on summarising our data and will soon be able to publish all our findings.
All results will be made available on this page!
Meanwhile, you can already access our analysis and code on GitHub
Sequence data
Our sequence data is all open public and available to download from from the European Nucleotide Archive. Simply select the project and you will be guided to the corresponding datasets.

Outreach
We continuously aim to share our findings and knowledge with the wider society to inform citizens about open doubts relating to water quality and bacterial composition of the river that fuels our city’s life as well as to train people on using the cutting-edge sequencing technology
Metagenomics
Workshop
July - August 2019
In collaboration with Biomakespace we have organised and instructed the Cambridge Metagenomics Challenge 2019 - Workshop

Science
Conferences
2017 - 2019
Until today we have been able to presented our research to the broader scientific community at four local, two national and two international conferences with more to come.
