Megx.net x97 database resources for marine ecological genomics
URL:
What you can do:
Search and analyze genomes of marine bacteria.
Highlights:
- Megx.net is a database and portal that provides integrated access to georeferenced marker genes, environment data and marine genome and metagenome projects for microbial ecological genomics.
- All data are stored in the Microbial Ecological Genomics DataBase (MegDB), which is subdivided to hold both sequence and habitat data and global environmental data layers.
- The extended system provides access to several hundreds of genomes and metagenomes from prokaryotes and phages, as well as over a million small and large subunit ribosomal RNA sequences.
- With the refined Genes Mapserver, all data can be interactively visualized on a world map and statistics describing environmental parameters can be calculated.
- Sequence entries have been curated to comply with the proposed minimal standards for genomes and metagenomes (MIGS/MIMS) of the Genomic Standards Consortium. Access to data is facilitated by Web Services.
- The updated portal offers microbial ecologists greatly enhanced database content, and new features and tools for data analysis.
