Rapid technological advances, such as the development of next-generation sequencing, are driving the need for comprehensive computational tools to analyse the wealth of generated genomic data. Systematic benchmarking has been successful in many research disciplines to help non-computational researchers evaluate the accuracy and applicability of new computational tools. Adopting a standardized benchmarking practice and following established principles for the design of new benchmarking studies could help researchers using omics data to better leverage technological innovation. In this Review, we propose step-by-step instructions for increasing reusability, transparency, and reproducibility of benchmarking studies by using containerization, common data representation, open data, and systematic parameter description.

Abstract The advent of “omics” is transforming Biological Sciences. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) in Food Safety represents a challenge for Clinical Microbiology and Public Health. A new professional profile which combines different domains represents a strategic lever to increase competitiveness in this field. The Erasmus+ project Learning Genomics for Food Safety(LEGO) is aimed at defining an innovative profile, the Food Microbial Bioinformatician (FMB), a professional able to use NGS technologies applied to the analysis of food-borne pathogens. FMB bridges diverse professional areas within processes integrating Genomics, Computer Science, Statistics and Microbiology. It mixes hard/technical and soft skills and competencies to be applied in different sectors. LEGO is carried out by a European consortium (UH, UTP,UNIVAQ, AINIA, UdAnet), led by IZSAM.Desk and in-field research activities have been conducted at European level to define the FMB profile, leveraging on: national/international professional classification; the 4C model, clustering the profile in 4 areas of hard and soft skills(primary - cognitive, individual, social; organisational interpersonal behaviours). The new profile development process is made of three key phaces. First of all, a questionnaire has been delivered to almost 50 experts within the Consortium to set the draft scheme concerning FMB roles, activities and competences. Secondly, a broad range of relevant stakeholders have beeninvolved for deepening relevance, frequency and complexity of each professional dimension. Finally, the collected information guided the Consortium through the validation of the new profile at the European level. The definition of a comprehensive, standard FMB profileallows to: analyse existing curricula and training gaps; ground customised modular training programmes to fill in the gaps; increase Food Safety, promoting continuous training in a sector strongly influenced by the evolution of technology. Key messages Professional excellence bridging different areas (both scientific and technical). Health System innovation for wellbeing and professional development of carrier pathways and mobility.

ZUSAMMENFASSUNGDas kolorektale Karzinom (KRK) ist einer der häufigsten malignen Tumoren in Deutschland. Einer frühzeitigen Diagnostik kommt große Bedeutung zu. Goldstandard ist hier die Koloskopie. Die aktuelle S3-Leitlinie Kolorektales Karzinom empfiehlt zum KRK-Screening den fäkalen okkulten Bluttest. Für das Monitoring von Patienten vor und nach Tumorresektion werden die Messung des Carcinoembryonalen Antigens (CEA) und der Mikrosatellitenstabilität empfohlen. Für die Auswahl der korrekten Chemotherapie scheint derzeit eine Überprüfung des Mutationsstatus, mindestens des KRAS-Gens und des BRAF-Gens, sinnvoll zu sein. Eine Reihe an neuartigen Tumormarkern befindet sich momentan in der Entwicklung, hat jedoch noch nicht die Reife für eine mögliche Anwendung in der Routinediagnostik erreicht. Den schnellsten Weg in die breite Anwendung können Next-Generation-Sequencing-basierte genetische Tests finden.
