    MG-RAST - Efficient downloads?

    Hello,
    I want to download the hierarchical SEED Subsystems information for 30 metagenomes at MG-RAST. I've managed to obtain, through the API, the tables corresponding to the 4 levels separately, but I'd like to have the integrated table you obtain from the "Analysis" section. In this table you can actually see the hierarchy of this system.
    The thing is that when you ask MG-RAST to include so many samples (30), it kind of crushes.
    Does anyone know a better way? Maybe via the same API?
    Cheers,

    Please before download the SEED subsystems check the validity of MG-RAST annotations. I was surprised that there is a lot of crushes and errors in annotations. Please compare the orfs.faa or orfs.fna to the SEED organisms or functions annotations, we will find not corresponding data for example the start-end of orfs in query is different then start-end of query gathered in annotations files. I have started to suspect the quality of MG-RAST annotations. Every biologist should not believe in black box of automated things software and webservers might suggest control test for each step in data processing.

      Multiomic Liquid Biopsy: What DNA/RNA Panels Reveal That DNA Alone Can’t
      by SEQadmin2



      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

      New Genomics Technologies Take Aim at Long-Standing Limits
      by SEQadmin2


      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
