Ben Allen from ORNL presented on KBase.
KBase is a software and data platform designed to meet the grand challenge of systems biology: predicting and designing biological function. Users can perform large-scale analyses and combine multiple lines of evidence to model plant and microbial physiology and community dynamics.
KBase is the first large-scale bioinformatics system that enables bench biologists and bioinformaticists to upload their own data, analyze it alongside collaborator and public data, build increasingly realistic models, and share their workflows and conclusions.
We will cover a variety of analyses for microbes and microbial communities, including a rich collection of bioinformatics tools for quality control and assessment of reads, de novo assembly, prokaryotic genome annotation, and how to analyze structural and functional features of genomes within KBase.
