MG-RAST

The MG-RAST server is an open source system for annotation and comparative analysis of metagenomes. Users can upload raw sequence data in fasta format; the sequences will be normalized and processed and summaries automatically generated. The server provides several methods to access the different data types, including phylogenetic and metabolic reconstructions, and the ability to compare the metabolism and annotations of one or more metagenomes and genomes. In addition, the server offers a comprehensive search capability. Access to the data is password protected, and all data generated by the automated pipeline is available for download in a variety of common formats. MG-RAST has become an unofficial repository for metagenomic data, providing a means to make your data public so that it is available for download and viewing of the analysis without registration, as well as a static link that you can use in publications. It also requires that you include experimental metadata about your sample when it is made public to increase the usefulness to the community.

MG-RAST服务器是一款开源的系统，旨在对宏基因组进行注释和比较分析。用户可上传原始序列数据，格式为fasta；序列将进行标准化处理，并自动生成总结。该服务器提供多种访问不同数据类型的方法，包括系统发育和代谢重建，以及比较一个或多个宏基因组与基因组的代谢和注释的功能。此外，服务器还提供全面的搜索功能。数据访问受密码保护，所有由自动化流程生成的数据均可下载，支持多种常用格式。MG-RAST已成为一个非官方的宏基因组数据存储库，提供了一种使您的数据公开的手段，以便下载和分析的查看，无需注册，同时还可以在出版物中使用静态链接。此外，该服务器还要求在数据公开时包含有关样本的实验元数据，以增加其对社区的有用性。
