EBI metagenomics—a new resource for the analysis and archiving of metagenomic data
نویسندگان
چکیده
Metagenomics is a relatively recently established but rapidly expanding field that uses high-throughput next-generation sequencing technologies to characterize the microbial communities inhabiting different ecosystems (including oceans, lakes, soil, tundra, plants and body sites). Metagenomics brings with it a number of challenges, including the management, analysis, storage and sharing of data. In response to these challenges, we have developed a new metagenomics resource (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/metagenomics/) that allows users to easily submit raw nucleotide reads for functional and taxonomic analysis by a state-of-the-art pipeline, and have them automatically stored (together with descriptive, standards-compliant metadata) in the European Nucleotide Archive.

EBI Metagenomics portal: Submitting metagenomics data to the European Nucleotide Archive
The EBI Metagenomics portal The EBI Metagenomics portal [6] is a free to use analysis service for metagenomics data. In order to have your data analysed by EBI Metagenomics, your sequence data have to be archived in the European Nucleotide Archive [7] (ENA). This tutorial will explain why you have to follow this procedure and will then guide you through the process of archiving your metagenomic...

EBI metagenomics (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/metagenomics) provides a free to use platform for the analysis and archiving of sequence data derived from the microbial populations found in a particular environment. Over the past two years, EBI metagenomics has increased the number of datasets analysed 10-fold. In addition to increased throughput, the underlying analysis pipeline has been overhauled to ...

Metagenomics is a discipline that enables the genomic study of unculturaled microorganisms. Microorganisms constitute two third of the Earth’s biological diversity. In many environments, 99% of the microorganisms cannot be cultured by standard techniques. Culture-independent methods are required to study the genetic diversity, population structure and ecological roles of the majority of o...
