Workflows

The containerised pipeline for profiling shotgun metagenomic data is derived from the MGnify pipeline raw-reads analyses, a well-established resource used for analyzing microbiome data. Key components:

• Quality control and decontamination
• rRNA and ncRNA detection using Rfam database
• Taxonomic classification of SSU and LSU regions
• Abundance analysis with mOTUs

MGnify (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/metagenomics) provides a free to use platform for the assembly, analysis and archiving of microbiome data derived from sequencing microbial populations that are present in particular environments. Over the past 2 years, MGnify (formerly EBI Metagenomics) has more than doubled the number of publicly available analysed datasets held within the resource. Recently, an updated approach to data analysis has been unveiled (version 5.0), replacing the previous single pipeline ...
