Welcome to the Metabiome Portal at George Mason University
The Metabiome is an ecological perspective of all the dynamic non-linear interactions in a microbial ecosystem including all linkages between microbes, macrofauna, and the environment.
We have develop the MBAC Metabiome Portal , a flexible and customizable webserver, with the aim of simplifying control, usage, access, and analysis of microbiome, metabolome, and immunome data in the animal systems as well as biogeochemical and trophic data in environmental systems. The Portal uses a relational database management system and distributed analytical resources and includes several tools such as sequence clustering, filtering sequencing artifacts, taxonomic analysis, and functional annotation. Users access the MBAC Metabiome Portal through a Galaxy based web browser to perform individual and group analysis and share their results. Programming support is also available to configure and run customized pipelines.
We have opened up the MBAC Metabiome Portal to unregistered users to share data and analysis tools. Computationally intensive tools are restricted to in house use. Anonymous users are restricted to a 50 mb disk quota. March 19, 2013
