Comprehensive Microbial Resource
Tutorial and training materials by OpenHelix
| Learn to use CMR, the Comprehensive Microbial Resource, for the analysis of prokaryote genomes. CMR includes the complete sequences of all publicly available microbial genomes with available tools for cross-genome analysis. Data is seamlessly integrated to allow users to explore information from the level of the gene, to the genome, to the comparative analysis of multiple species. A convenient and easy-to-use suite of tools allow you to rapidly design, view, and interpret huge data sets with fun graphs and visualizations. Containing over 400 genomes (and more than a gigabase of DNA sequence), CMR is a treasure-trove of microbial genome information. | |||||
You'll learn:
- how to query for genes and genomes from CMR
- to analyze a gene, from its sequence level to its biological function
- to explore genomes from different perspectives
- how to use a vast array of visualization tools to compare genomes from multiple organisms
- to save genes and genomes into your own tool Cart for in-depth analysis
More about the resource:
The CMR is maintained by the J. Craig Venter Institute (JCVI), a leading authority in genome sequence analysis. CMR is an annotated repository of the complete sequences of all publicly available microbial genomes, with data organized in gene and genome pages. A suite of analytical tools allows sequences to be explored and displayed in numerous graphical perspectives. Multiple genomes can be simultaneously compared to find overlaps and uniqueness. JCVI also offers annotation services. Anyone with a prokaryotic genome may submit it to JCVI for annotation, completely free-of-charge.
