Description
This important project will democratise and enhance the still emerging field of metagenomics. We will do this with the provision and enhancement of the EBI metagenomics portal.
This is a collaborative project led by Robb Finn of the European Bioinformatics Institute at the Sanger Institute. At Newcastle, we are building on earlier work to create effective statistical tools. These will provide analysis of metagenomic data incorporated in the EBI Metagenomics Portal.
MGnify brings the power of metagenomics to engineers and other practitioners.
