Introduction

The Marine Metagenomics Portal provides access to high-quality curated and freely accessible marine microbial genomics and metagenomics resources. It includes the MAR databases, a collection of richly annotated and manually curated contextual and sequence databases, and MetaPipe, a complete workflow for the analysis of marine metagenomic data.

The Marine Metagenomics Portal provides freely accessible microbial genomics and metagenomics reference databases that include MarRef, MarDB, and MarCat. The MMP also includes a search engine that you can use to query all three databases at once.

This service is run by the University of Tromsø, ELIXIR Norway, as one of three service offered under the ELIXIR Microbiome community. The goals of this community is to develop standards for FAIR microbiome analyses, providing support in data, tools, workflows and federated computation. They also aim to Represent the Microbiome Community in its complexity and build capacity in microbiome analyses.
