IMG/M: the integrated metagenome data management and comparative analysis system

Nucleic Acids Res. 2012 Jan;40(Database issue):D123-9. doi: 10.1093/nar/gkr975. Epub 2011 Nov 15.

Abstract

The integrated microbial genomes and metagenomes (IMG/M) system provides support for comparative analysis of microbial community aggregate genomes (metagenomes) in a comprehensive integrated context. IMG/M integrates metagenome data sets with isolate microbial genomes from the IMG system. IMG/M's data content and analytical capabilities have been extended through regular updates since its first release in 2007. IMG/M is available at http://img.jgi.doe.gov/m. A companion IMG/M systems provide support for annotation and expert review of unpublished metagenomic data sets (IMG/M ER: http://img.jgi.doe.gov/mer).
