A new platform called IDseq is meant to help the world's disease detectives diagnose mysterious illnesses more easily. Here's my piece on why it's important, and the likely challenges ahead.https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2018/10/dashboard-disease-detectives/573034/?utm_source=twb …

No particular issue with IDseq concetually but it would be a terrible mistake to focus on any particular software package or method in such a rapidly developing and unvalidated field ...
Yeah. As for how intuitive it is, I'll wait until I gain access to pass judgment. The main issue on the front end though is *interpretation*, not presentation. Mainly because of misclassifications and contaminants upstream in the pipeline - far from trivial to do.

Right. The interpretation gap is huge right now.

Yup - accurate classification of reads, contaminant detection, and scoring of likely causality are by far the most critical needs - and here new tools are needed. To me IDSeq appears to be an online wrapper for preexisting tools e.g. Gsnap, rapsearch, bowtie2, etc.pic.twitter.com/JA2a9z3eUC

Aye. I hope the piece makes it clear that this is not some magic box that will fix everything, but something with substantial obstacles that still must be overcome.
