What's New

(03-2023) CheckM 2

Assess the quality of isolate and other genomes with the new Completeness and Contamination score features based on CheckM 2 (REF). Scores can be accessed from individual genomes details pages, genome cart table configuration and Advanced Genome Search.

(01-2023) GeNomad

Explore plasmid and provirus scaffolds in genomes and metagenomes predicted by GeNomad (https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.03.05.531206v1). This new type of scaffold metadata can be accessed via scaffold details page, scaffold cart and Advanced Scaffold search.

(01-2023) IMG Plasmid

IMG Plasmid. Explore the sequences and functions of more than 800,000 plasmids identified in genomes and metagonomes from IMG.

(10-2022) IMG VR v4

Explore >10 million uncultivated viral genomes predicted from >130,000 diverse (meta)genomes in the latest release of IMG/VR.

(03-2022) GTDB-Tk

GTDB-Tk taxonomy predictions are now available for isolate genomes. It provides a genome-based taxonomy prediction compared to NCBI lineage which arises from polyphasic approaches (particularly 16S rRNA identity). GTDB taxonomy can be accessed from individual genome detail pages, genome cart table configuration and Advanced Genome Search.

(12-2022) ANI & Bins

The ANI computation pipeline now includes uncultivated genomes (referred to as bins) arising from the automated binning pipeline. See an example clique composed of isolates as well as metagenome bins.

(06-2020) Genome Set Statistical Analysis

Compare 100s to 1000s of genomes and metagenomes based on their functional gene content using the Statistical Analysis tool available through the Genome workspace. Read more about it here or watch a webinar tutorial. Metagenome bins (12-2020) can also be included in the analysis using the Analysis Data Group feature described here.

(04-2019) Metagenome Bin

Automated recovery of uncultivated genomes (referred to as metagenome bins or bins) - browse over 228,000 uncultivated genomes recovered from 21,150 metagenome samples in the IMG database. Learn more about our binning pipeline.

(01-2019) Advanced Search Builder

Datasets can be selected using multiple criteria searching across >100 metadata fields using the Advanced Search Builder.
