Data retrieved from HICO have been validated with data collected from samples collected on the ground and used to develop algorithms to map indicators of water quality.
The models produce projections or scenarios which are no more accurate than the assumptions, algorithms and data , often of poor quality, which were put into them.
In the work of NCBI Staff Scientist and genomics expert Martin Shumway, distilling these large volumes of raw sequencing data requires more sophisticated computing algorithms, intensive quality control and indexing for online searchability by the science community.
