Session 3 will assess the quality of the binned assemblies and extract the metagenome-assembled genomes or MAGs to annotate genes. These annotated MAGs will go through taxonomic identification, generate phylogenetic trees and explore functional analysis, including introducing tools in KBase to create functional profiles and build metabolic models. The post Annotation & Functional Analysis of MAGs appeared first on KBase.| KBase
An Nguyen (AN) and Dinh Phan (DP, pictured below) are high school students who conducted summer research with KBase as part of Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Next Generation STEM Internships (NGSI) program. For their project, they worked in KBase to sequence 4 bacterial genomes isolated from the rhizosphere of Populus trichcocarpa, commonly known as poplar […] The post Community Highlight: An Nguyen and Dinh Phan appeared first on KBase.| KBase
The Science In PLoS Pathogens, a team of faculty and researchers describe a workforce development program for higher education that develops skills in fungal biology and genomics. Myco-Ed: The Mycological Curriculum for Education and Discovery is a microbiology program that provides training and scientific contributions—including sequencing services and analysis—to participants. Over the past two years, […] The post Open Frameworks Training the Next Generation of Scientists appeared fir...| KBase

Session 2 introduces quality control (trimming and filtering) of raw sequence data, gets a taxonomic snapshot and prepares the data for metagenome assembly of contiguous sequences. Then, the session will cover different types of assembly tools and how to compare metagenome assembly quality in KBase, before going into how to organize or “bin” assembled reads […] The post Metagenome Assembly & Binning appeared first on KBase.| KBase
