Скачать или смотреть MARTi: Revolutionizing Pathogen Surveillance with Real-Time Metagenomics

In this video, we explore the groundbreaking software, MARTi, that is transforming the way we monitor and respond to microbial threats. MARTi, developed by the Earlham Institute, offers a flexible and accessible approach to real-time metagenomics analysis.
Dr. Ned Peel, the first author and a postdoctoral researcher, highlights how MARTi's lightweight design enables taxonomic classification on standard laptops, making it ideal for in-field use. The software's immediate analysis results could be a game-changer in clinical settings, allowing for rapid identification and targeted treatments of pathogen infections.
We delve into the origins of MARTi, which began as a tool for identifying pathogens in preterm infants, and its subsequent adaptation for various settings, including research vessels, agriculture, and biosecurity. The video showcases the impact of MARTi's real-time analysis, particularly in agricultural environments, where it could provide farmers with real-time alerts about pathogen threats in their fields.
MARTi consists of two components: the MARTi Engine for data analysis and the MARTi GUI for result visualization and comparison. Its highly customizable nature allows users to tailor the software to their specific research needs.
Join us as we uncover the potential of MARTi and its role in advancing pathogen surveillance and environmental monitoring.
