Abstract
A method comprises configuring a first processing node for communication with one or more additional processing nodes and with one or more of a plurality of geographically-distributed metagenomics sequencing centers via one or more networks, processing metagenomics sequencing results obtained from one or more of the metagenomics sequencing centers in the first processing node, and providing surveillance functionality relating to at least one designated biological issue on behalf of one or more requesting clients based at least in part on the processing of metagenomics sequencing results performed by the first processing node and related processing performed by one or more of the additional processing nodes. Each of the metagenomics sequencing centers is configured to perform metagenomics sequencing on biological samples from respective sample sources in a corresponding data zone.
