Most microbial diversity is uncultured. metaTraits bridges the gap by combining culture-based trait data (@bacdive.bsky.social, @bvbrc.bsky.social, JGI/GOLD/IMG) with predictions for MAGs and genomes (SPIRE, proGenomes). All trait summaries come with provenance and links to their original data. 4/8

Just about to push a big update to our R package TaxSEA where we've spent a lot of time collating data from the BacDive database so it's readily usable in a metagenomics analysis. See example below from the HMP IBD data. #metagenomics #bioinformatics #microbiome #microbiota
