Hi,
Is it ok to do the metagenome analysis with MG-RAST? Or does it have a major shortcoming?

It is more than just OK.
But, as everything, it has pros and cons.
One of the major advantage is that you don't need local computational efforts, because everything is done at their servers.
And maybe the main disadvantage is that it you are limited by the analyses and outputs they have chosen. However, there is enough diversity and flexibility of them to do many of the most relevant.
Another problem is the lack of an official forum like the ones of mothur and qiime.
But in my opinion, go for it, you won't regret.

Tumors contain complex mixtures of cell populations that evolve in response to treatment and host-specific factors. Tissue biopsies provide only static snapshots of a tumor’s state. But what if we could follow that evolution over time using a minimally invasive technique?
Liquid biopsies can detect tumor-derived material circulating in the bloodstream, providing a way to study treatment response, detect emerging resistance, and discover new biomarkers. Circulating...10-14-2026, 09:55 AM -
Researchers using sequencing and genomics tools often have to make trade-offs. They can choose between speed or scale, short reads or long-range information, or targeted panels or a view of the whole transcriptome. New technologies that have been released this year are built to address those tough choices.
We asked six companies the same four questions to learn about their latest products. The new technologies bring a lot to the table, including rethinking sequencing...
