The Integrated Microbial Genomes (IMG) system, hosted by the Joint Genome Institute (JGI), provides a data management platform for analyzing microbial genomes, and integrates data from not only the Joint Genome Institute projects but many other public information resources as well. At the IMG system, you can search for genes by keyword or BLAST searches, you can search for genes phylogenetically among many organisms, and you can browse for information by organism. From search results, you can follow links to various information ranging from protein functions to taxonomic lineages.

Also see the IMG/M tutorial for microbiome metagenome data.

Below are the links for the tutorial suite for IMG, including an online narrated tutorial, PowerPoint slides, slide handouts in PDF, and exercises.
