Collaboration with KBase

KBase is a platform enabling systems biology research and comparative functional genomics of microbes and plants while promoting the sharing of results and methods with other scientists.

Microbial genome reads and assemblies can be transferred directly from the JGI Genome Portal to KBase for assembly, annotation, metabolic modeling, and more using the Push to KBase feature. Any data you transfer to KBase is private unless you choose to share it.
