UT Knoxville: Analyzing Microbial Genomes and Community Metagenomes with KBase

This workshop will introduce the Department of Energy Systems Biology Knowledgebase (kbase.us) and showcase popular protocols for multi-omics analysis on the platform. Attendees will learn how to import data and use KBase apps for processing next-generation sequencing reads and performing assembly, annotation, feature analysis, and taxonomic assessment of genomes. We will also introduce users to KBase’s microbiome analysis workflows, from metagenome assembly and genome extraction, to functional annotation and taxonomic prediction. Learn how KBase users perform powerful comparative analysis of their multi-omics data within an online platform that hosts a variety of public data, and supports publishing and collaboration. This session is a great opportunity for new and experienced KBase users to learn about new features and developments to advance your research, and to ask questions or get support from KBase staff.
