The genome analysis in this study by Sabita Ghimire-Kafle, Matt Weaver and Annette Bollmann is a great example of combining tools in #KBase (kbase.org) and #IMG (img.jgi.doe.gov) for functional studies of #microbial and #metagenomes.

Metagenome assembly/binning in KBase and functional analysis of a resulting MAG in IMG/M (plus experiments) showed that Nitrospira sp. BO4 is a complete ammonia oxidizer (#comammox).

For Dylan Chivian, staying connected with the natural world goes hand in hand with his work as a microbial scientist and coding engineer with the Systems Biology Knowledgebase (#KBase). When he's not building software tools he's out seeking adventure.
