Summary: MG-RAST is a fully-automated service for annotating metagenome samples providing analysis tools for comparison
"Error: no local variable "counter" was set." is not a number.
Description
MG-RAST is actively maintained at Argonne National Laboratory outside Chicago. It has over 12,000 users and has been used for over 95,000 metagenomic data sets.
MG-RAST provides:
- comprehensive normalization of sequences (e.g. identification of errors, bar codes etc)
- prediction of features for prokaryotic sequences (protein and rRNA features only)
- annotation of sequences (assembled and raw reads, minimum length is 75bp)
- their phylogenetic classification,
- metabolic reconstructions and
- comparison tools
- a comprehensive API
- data publication
