Number of IFSH Industry WGS Workgroup Members
Dictionary: The Institute of Food Safety and Health (IFSH), which is a collaboration between the FDA, the Illinois Institute of Technology and a consortium of food industry members, has constituted a workgroup to collaborate on whole genome sequencing of bacterial isolates submitted by industry partners. The IFSH workgroup facilitates the participation of industry partners in the selection of bacterial isolates, obtains limited metadata about the isolates, arranges sequencing in the IFSH facilities, after which data is uploaded to the GenomeTrakr database.To date there are four industry partners participating in submission of isolates, although IFSH itself has nearly 100 private sector partners.
