MGENES

KEGG MGENES is a collection of gene catalogs from large scale environmental sequencing studies. Sequence and annotation data were generated from publicly available resources with the use of recently developed GhostKOALA. MGENES links sequences, functions and environmental parameters based on the KEGG reference pathway database. MGENES also provides publicly available reference gene catalogs (e.g., OM-RGC, IGC) generated from metagenomes as well as complete genomes with the use of sequence clustering methods.

  • Metagenomes: Annotated environmental gene catalog

  • RefGene: Reference gene catalogs from OM-RGC and IGC

  • BLAST: Blast search to MGENES and RefGene

  • Download sequence data:

       The annotated sequence data are accessible from the GenomeNet FTP server [README] [FTP] [HTTPS].

Tara Oceans Project

The GenomeNet and the KEGG teams are actively involvd in the integration of the sequence data and metadata generated by the international-interdisciplinary Tara Oceans Consortium.

The route of the Tara Oceans Expedition 2009-2013.
