FAQ
Can I freely use the data?
Anyone/everyone is welcome to use the data and publish with them. There is no expectation that the people who made the release/data should be co-authors on these publications, but we would appreciate citation of the preprint (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.03.08.584059v1).
How can I get involved?
All are welcome. Contact us via Github, Slack or the monthly zoom calls. Anyone who contributes to the project, through analysis, project management or any other means, ought to be an author of the paper.
What happens if two people want to run their competing methods?
(Bad example, prokka versus bakta or one AMR tool versus another). First, anyone can do anything they like, but to get into the releases, we should discuss on a zoom call and make a decision. We shall tend towards allowing multiple analyses (eg we intend to run bakta on everything but if someone wants to run prokka too, we should we ok to add that to the release too). However, if it starts to get silly with people wanting 4 tools each run with 3 parameters, then I think we get a lot stricter - this compute isn’t free (in terms of carbon, or money), so we’ll make a decision and do something limited.
