Metagenomic analysis of microbial communities with OmicsBox

In this use case we will use the metagenomics tools included in OmicsBox to analyze the microbial communities of two different soda lakes from Brazil. The original study was carried out by Ana P. D. Andreote, et al., 2018 (doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2018.00244). Introduction Soda lakes are special ecosystems found across Africa, Europe, Asia, etc. These lakes show high levels of sodium

Select .pal files to Run LocalBlast

How to create a taxonomic mapping file.

Create a taxonomic mapping file to Make Blast Database within OmicsBox OmicsBox allows creating a custom database to run Blast locally. The blast algorithm will run on the user’s computer against a database that is installed locally.In order to do so, we have to either download a pre-formatted NCBI database (see tutorial) or format our own database (see this tutorial

Acinetobacter baumannii

Transcriptome analysis of Acinetobacter baumannii cells under different conditions

OmicsBox Supported Project Researchers: Background and Project Overview: A.baumannii, a nosocomial pathogen, ranks first in the WHO’s list of antibiotic-resistant priority pathogen. The problem of increasing frequency of multi-drug resistance in A. baumannii has been further compounded by tolerance to high concentration of antibiotics due to persister cells. Persister cells are phenotypic variants of normal cells that are formed in
