Purpose and Aims

The aim of the ENNGS network is to bring together professionals involved in microbiological, especially virological diagnostics using next-generation sequencing (NGS). The network focuses on the development, optimization and standardization of microbiological NGS techniques. The network facilitates sharing of NGS data, methodologies and experiences among participants.

The network is established under the auspices of the ESCV.
