Learn how to integrate free, open access resources for microbiome data science into your courses using KBase and the National Microbiome Data Collaborative platforms at ASM Conference For Undergraduate Educators!
Learn how to import data into KBase, process and assemble short and long sequencing reads, and annotate features on the genome. This session will also how to construct feature sets…
This webinar will introduce the basics of metabolic modeling in KBase. Learn how to construct and gapfill metabolic models, perform flux balance analysis, and explore the metabolic capacity of your…
Session 4 puts the full workflow together and maps the process to the MRA templates available in KBase: quality control, assembly, binning, annotation, taxonomic identification and predictive function, as requirements…
Session 3 will assess the quality of the binned assemblies and extract the metagenome-assembled genomes or MAGs to annotate genes. These annotated MAGs will go through taxonomic identification, generate phylogenetic…
Session 2 introduces quality control (trimming and filtering) of raw sequence data, gets a taxonomic snapshot and prepares the data for metagenome assembly of contiguous sequences. Then, the session will…
Session 1 provides an overview of the microbial genome analysis workflow and introduces the free and open-access KBase platform to participants.
Learn the basics of KBase and best practices for your research. This webinar introduces the fundamentals of the KBase platform, including data upload, using the Narrative interface, running apps, and…
Kick off the academic year with KBase Educators for an orientation to the Educators Community and teaching resources! We will go over how Narratives and teaching resources are laid out…
A workshop on an accessible metagenomics toolkit for decoding microbial contributions to biogeochemical cycles organized by ISME Latin America 2025.
KBase Organizations
Organizations allow colleagues to share Narratives and data between users working on a single project or across whole institutions. Members of an Organization can see each other’s Narratives and be notified when members of an organization add data or analyses to the system. This allows you to manage, track, and maintain your project’s resources on KBase.
The Genome Resolved Open Watersheds database is a free and open resource available to community members..
Research within the Ecosystems and Networks Integrated with Genes and Molecular Assemblies (ENIGMA) project emphasizes achieving a multiscale, causal, and predictive understanding of microbial biology and the reciprocal impact of microbial communities on their ecosystems.
Publicly available High Quality non-redundant Metagenome-Annotated Genomes from the A Genomic Catalogue of Earth’s Microbiomes publication.
Explore published metabolic models for isolate microorganisms created and curated by Christopher Henry’s laboratory at Argonne National Laboratory.
Learn from world-class researchers how to use microbial metagenomic and environmental metabolite data from the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
