CROPS 2024 Workshops
In preparation for those planning to attend the KBase workshops at CROPS 2024 (June 3-6) we recommend first creating a free KBase account so you can use the system. This short KBase Quick Start video demonstrates how-to along with a very brief introduction to the platform or follow the step-by-step sign up guide.
Getting Started with KBase
Lead: Zach Crockett
The Department of Energy Systems Biology Knowledgebase (KBase) enables users to analyze, share, and collaborate using data and tools designed to help build increasingly realistic models of biological systems in plants and their microbiomes. This presentation will include a brief introduction for those new to KBase.

KBase for Plant Science
Lead: Zach Crockett with Mallory Morgan
KBase enables users to analyze, share, and collaborate using data and tools designed to help build increasingly realistic models of biological systems and function in plants and their microbiomes. This presentation will cover a mix of analyses involving differential gene expression analysis, reconstruction of plant metabolism from a genome and examining the expression data within metabolic subsystems in a reproducible point-and-click narrative user interface. A new application that expands upon GWAS findings and explores gene/protein dynamics within multiplex networks across mechanistically related gene sets will also be presented. We will conclude with a brief overview of KBase Educators who are instructors using KBase as a tool for exploratory and research-based biological analysis experiences in their course curriculum.
