鸟枪测序在环境样品中的应用揭示了一个新的微生物群落基因组(元基因组)宇宙，涉及以前未培养的生物体。元基因组分析需要在综合数据管理和分析系统的背景下进行，以全面了解微生物群落的基因功能和代谢能力。本文介绍了一个基于集成微生物基因组(IMG)系统的实验元基因组数据管理和分析系统IMG/M。IMG/M提供工具和查看器，用于单独或在比较的情况下分析元基因组和分离基因组。Img/M可在http://img.jgi.doe.gov/m.上获得
The application of shotgun sequencing to environmental samples has revealed a new universe of microbial community genomes (metagenomes) involving previously uncultured organisms. Metagenome analysis, which is expected to provide a comprehensive picture of the gene functions and metabolic capacity for microbial communities, needs to be conducted in the context of a comprehensive data management and analysis system. We present in this paper IMG/M, an experimental metagenome data management and analysis system that is based on the Integrated Microbial Genomes (IMG) system. IMG/M provides tools and viewers for analyzing both metagenomes and isolate genomes individually or in a comparative context. IMG/M is available at http://img.jgi.doe.gov/m.
