      Recent advances in sequencing technologies and platforms have enabled to generate metagenomics sequences using different sequencing platforms. In this study, we analyzed and compared shotgun metagenomic sequences generated by HiSeq3000 and BGISEQ-500 platforms from 12 sediment samples collected across the Norwegian coast. Metagenomics DNA sequences were normalized to an equal number of bases for ...
    • The MAR databases: development and implementation of databases specific for marine metagenomics 

      Klemetsen, Terje; Raknes, Inge A.; Fu, Juan; Agafonov, Alexander; Balasundaram, Sudhagar V.; Tartari, Giacomo; Robertsen, Espen; Willassen, Nils Peder (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-11-02)
      We introduce the marine databases; <i>MarRef, MarDB</i> and <i>MarCat</i> (https://mmp.sfb.uit.no/databases/), which are publicly available resources that promote marine research and innovation. These data resources, which have been implemented in the Marine Metagenomics Portal (MMP) (https://mmp.sfb.uit.no/), are collections of richly annotated and manually curated contextual (metadata) and sequence ...
