IMG -- Integrated microbial genomes system
What you can do:
Search and analyze microbial genomes from a comprehensive database by the DOE-Joint Genome Institute (JGI).
Highlights:
- The integrated microbial genomes (IMG) system serves as a community resource for comparative analysis of publicly available genomes in a comprehensive integrated context.
- IMG contains both draft and complete microbial genomes integrated with other publicly available genomes from all three domains of life, together with a large number of plasmids and viruses.
- It provides tools and viewers for analyzing and reviewing the annotations of genes and genomes in a comparative context.
- Since its first release in 2005, IMG's data content and analytical capabilities have been constantly expanded through regular releases.
- Several companion IMG systems have been set up in order to serve domain specific needs, such as expert review of genome annotations.
