Release OmicsBox version 1.2 (24th of October, 2019) We are happy to announce the following updates for the Metagenomics Module. New Metagenomics feature include OTU Differential Abundance Testing and several new taxonomy plots: Chao1 Diversity, Rarefaction Curves and PCoA. More details can be found below as well as in the online user manual and Metagenomics Module website. New Taxonomy Statistics
In this analysis, we will reproduce a study carried out by Michaela M. Martis et al. in 2017 with OmicsBox. (http://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0185182) Introduction Ascaridia galli is an intestinal parasite that infects a wide range of domestic birds. It is especially important in European farms, where it parasites laying hens and causes economic problems. The only available treatments are the Benzimidazole derivatives,
In this use case we will use the metagenomics tools included in OmicsBox to analyze the microbial communities of two different soda lakes from Brazil. The original study was carried out by Ana P. D. Andreote, et al., 2018 (doi: 10.3389/fmicb.2018.00244). Introduction Soda lakes are special ecosystems found across Africa, Europe, Asia, etc. These lakes show high levels of sodium

The Multilocus Sequence Typing Analysis Tool of OmicsBox (MLST) is a nucleotide sequence-based approach of characterizing isolates of bacterial species using the sequences of internal fragments of seven housekeeping genes. This video shows step-by-step how to analyze bacterial sequences with the MLST App in OmicsBox. As input, users can provide either DNA-Seq reads in FASTQ or contigs/scaffolds in FASTA format.
Create a taxonomic mapping file to Make Blast Database within OmicsBox OmicsBox allows creating a custom database to run Blast locally. The blast algorithm will run on the user’s computer against a database that is installed locally.In order to do so, we have to either download a pre-formatted NCBI database (see tutorial) or format our own database (see this tutorial
This provides example data to be used in OmicsBox.

OmicsBox Supported Project Researchers: Background and Project Overview: A.baumannii, a nosocomial pathogen, ranks first in the WHO’s list of antibiotic-resistant priority pathogen. The problem of increasing frequency of multi-drug resistance in A. baumannii has been further compounded by tolerance to high concentration of antibiotics due to persister cells. Persister cells are phenotypic variants of normal cells that are formed in
