The Integrated Microbial Genomes with Microbiome Samples Resource (IMG/M) system, hosted by the Joint Genome Institute (JGI), is a Metagenomics Data Management & Analysis System. IMG/M provides tools for analyzing the DNA contained in an environmental sample of a microbial community, including tools for analyzing the functional capability of microbial communities based on their metagenome sequence, in the context of reference isolate genomes included from the Integrated Microbial Genomes, or IMG system.

IMG/M is related to the IMG system, and so many of their functions overlap. If you would like to review basic IMG functions, you may view our introductory IMG tutorial.

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