@johannavw.bsky.social will also speak in the MICROBIOME session, presenting gemsparcl, an ultra-fast, MAG-aware tool for clustering millions of bacterial genomes in rapid time.
📍 MICROBIOME session
Weds evening | Room 01B

@tgurbich.bsky.social will present MGnify Genomes — our biome-specific genome catalogues built with @nextflow.io, featuring rich annotations & several sequence search tools.
📍 MICROBIOME session
Weds evening | Room 01B

@mberacochea.bsky.social will talk about @mgnifydb.bsky.social's infrastructure evolution - working towards service sustainability while balancing scale, data provenance, and operational constraints.
📍ELIXIR/NIH-ODSS session
Weds afternoon | Room 12

A big thank you to the open data community who made this possible. Explore the catalogue here: www.ebi.ac.uk/metagenomics...

Mettannotator academic.oup.com/bioinformati... provides a rich set of annotations for prokaryotic genomes, within a comprehensive NextFlow pipeline leveraging tools, databases and customised scripts to tap into gene functions for novel species.

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...

Functions are derived from proteins and the MGnify protein database now contains almost 2.5 billion protein sequences from microbiome data! 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?
