MGnify are at ISMB/ECCB 2025 this week!
Catch our talks on Wednesday to learn about our latest services and tools. 👇 #ISMB2025 #ISMBECCB2025

Microbes can be difficult to culture in the laboratory. To tackle this we assemble their genomes directly from metagenomic data. These are called MAGs: metagenome-assembled genomes. Explore the novelty of uncultivated microbes in our biome-specific genome catalogues. www.ebi.ac.uk/metagenomics...

The MGnify analysis pipelines help researchers explore these microbial communities and understand what’s present and what they do in a diverse range of environments.

The microbiome is the community of microbes - bacteria, archaea, viruses & micro-eukaryotes - that live in almost all environments. So how do we untangle the complex puzzle in each environment?

Presenting at the "Metagenomics in spaceflight" workshop at NASA, Lorna- @microbiodata.bsky.social presented the vast microbiome resources available at @ebi.embl.org and MGnify to assist discussions to develop a roadmap for integration of metagenomic sequencing into planetary protection.

MGnify Proteins – our vast database of protein sequences derived from metagenomic sequencing – is now accessible via the web () and via @googlecloud BigQuery Public Datasets.

We're celebrating @UNBiodiversity's #BiodiversityDay with a milestone for our #PartOfThePlan: MGnify has now analysed over 5000 studies of publicly available data, characterising microbial biodiversity in a wide range of environments around the Earth and beyond.

Our annual #metagenomics #bioinformatics at MGnify course, running virtually in September, covers the lifecycle of metagenomics projects from experimental design through quality control & annotation to MAG generation & more. Apply by 9 June:

Last week at the Festival of Genomics & Biodata, Lorna Richardson - the Microbiome Informatics coordinator  presented the services and data products we provide at MGnify including the extensive protein database and biome-specific genome catalogues #FOG2024 @FoGenomics
