Home - Marine Metagenomics Portal

Ongoing Update We are currently performing an update on the NIRD MMP, expected to be completed by early autumn. During this period, the MMP tables will be empty. You can still access contextual data from our Download Page.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

The mission of Marine Metagenomics Portal (MMP) is to provide the marine scientific community with high-quality curated and freely accessible microbial genomics and metagenomics resources.

Databases

MarRef

MarRef is a manually curated marine microbial reference genome database that contains completely sequenced genomes. Each entry contains 120 metadata fields including information about sampling environment or host, organism and taxonomy, phenotype, pathogenicity, assembly and annotation information.

Current total number of records is 970.

MarDB

MarDB includes all non-complete marine microbial genomes regardless of level of completeness. Each entry contains 120 metadata fields including information about sampling environment or host, organism and taxonomy, phenotype, pathogenicity, assembly and annotation.

Current total number of records is 13237.

MarFun

MarFun is a manually curated marine fungi genome database.

Current total number of records is 27.

SalDB

SalDB is a salmon specific database of genome sequenced prokaryotes representing the microbiota of fishes found in the taxonomic family of Salmonidae.

Services

BLAST

BLAST (Basic Local Alignment Search Tool) finds local similarity between sequences, which can be used to infer functional and evolutionary relationships between sequences as well as help identify members of gene families. Our BLAST service provides search on all genes and protein coding sequences from the MAR databases.

Visualization

The Visualization page provides an interactive visualization tool giving an insight into the quantity and quality of the sample contained in MarRef and MarDB.

Download

The Download page gives free access to the contextual data, sequence and other microbial genomics and metagenomics resources generated from the MAR databases.

META-pipe

META-pipe is a complete workflow for the analysis of marine metagenomic data. It provides assembly of high-throughput sequence data, functional annotation of predicted genes, and taxonomic profiling.

About

Marine Metagenomics Portal was developed as a part of the ELIXIR EXCELERATE project and made online in 2017. It is maintained by The Center for Bioinformatics (SfB) at the UiT The Arctic University of Norway. SfB is hosting the UiT node of ELIXIR Norway.
