Welcome to megx.net


Scope: Megx.net provides specialized databases and tools for genome-wide analysis of marine bacteria and metagenomics. Check our latest updates in the News section.


Genomes from the sea



Please cite us if you find our resource useful. Megx.net was published in NAR database issue:

Lombardot T, Kottmann R, Pfeffer H, Richter M, Teeling H, Quast C, Glöckner FO. Megx.net -- database resources for marine ecological genomics. Nucleic Acids Res. 2006 Jan 1;34 (Database issue): D390-393. [Pubmed Abstract at NCBI] [Free full text]




Our goal is to provide a complement to general purpose sequence databases (such as NCBI) for scientists interested in ecological microbial genomics.

Currently, our focus is restricted to genomes and metagenomes of marine microorganisms. We offer specialized databases and associated tools for this field of research.
