The mission of this working group is to be a forum for discussing and developing reference material standards for microbial researchers.
The goals of the group include:
Collating and disseminating information about existing reference material standards;
Advocating for the reporting of data from reference material standards; and
Advancing their availability and usefulness
We interpret "reference material standards" as any physical material that can be used for quality control, validation, diagnostics, and standardization in metagenomic, microbiome, or multi-omics workflows. The group represents stakeholders in clinical, academic, industry, and government settings.
