| Summary: | Reproducibility is a fundamental hallmark of good science. The FDA-led MicroArray and Sequencing Quality Control (MAQC/SEQC) consortia conducted three projects to assess the reliability and reproducibility of genomics technologies including microarrays, genome-wide association studies and next-generation sequencing. Its decade effort has led to the formation of a new international society, Massive Analysis and Quality Control (MAQC) Society (www.maqcsociety.org), which is dedicated to quality control and analysis of massive data generated from high-throughput technologies for enhanced reproducibility. The Society strives to work with various scientific communities to develop consensus on best practices for generating reliable and reproducible data and its analysis suitable for translation from increasingly innovative biomedical fields into biological application, clinical practice, and regulatory decision-making.
