    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.

      Pathogen Surveillance with Advanced Genomic Tools
      by seqadmin




      The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for proactive pathogen surveillance systems. As ongoing threats like avian influenza and newly emerging infections continue to pose risks, researchers are working to improve how quickly and accurately pathogens can be identified and tracked. In a recent SEQanswers webinar, two experts discussed how next-generation sequencing (NGS) and machine learning are shaping efforts to monitor viral variation and trace the origins of infectious...

      New Genomics Tools and Methods Shared at AGBT 2025
      by seqadmin


      This year’s Advances in Genome Biology and Technology (AGBT) General Meeting commemorated the 25th anniversary of the event at its original venue on Marco Island, Florida. While this year’s event didn’t include high-profile musical performances, the industry announcements and cutting-edge research still drew the attention of leading scientists.

      The Headliner
      The biggest announcement was Roche stepping back into the sequencing platform market. In the years since...
