MiDSystem: A comprehensive online system for de novo assembly and analysis of microbial genomes

扫码查看
The substantial reduction in experimental cost of next-generation sequencing techniques makes it feasible to assemble a bacterial genome of unknown species de novo and acquire substantial genetic information from environmental samples. Many bioinformatics tools and algorithms have also been developed for prokaryotes, but complex parameter settings and command line-based user interfaces cause a significant entry barrier for novices. Efficient construction of pipelines that integrate all the available genomic data poses a major challenge to the understanding of unknown pathogens. MiDSystem is a comprehensive online system for analyzing genomic data from microbiomes. With a user-friendly interface, MiDSystem supports both de novo assembly and metagenomic analysis pipelines. It is designed to automatically analyze whole genome shotgun sequencing data of bacteria submitted by users. Multiple analytical steps can be performed directly on the system, and the results generated from the embedded tools are visualized in an online summary report to make it more interpretable. Constructing a genome de novo has gradually become the foundation of bacterial studies. Taking both single species and metagenomic samples into consideration, MiDSystem can greatly reduce the time and effort for analysis of bacterial genomic data. Use of MiDSystem will enable more focus to be placed on understanding the etiology of bacterial infections and microorganism ecologies.
