MGnify Proteins: accessing billions of metagenomic protein sequences

European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL)

About this event

MGnify Proteins holds about 5.7 billion non-redundant protein sequences from metagenomic assemblies, and this free hour from EMBL-EBI shows three ways in. Christian Atallah covers similarity searches with HMMER, reading the Protein Landing Pages and querying the Parquet release files directly with DuckDB. Anyone curious about metagenomic proteins can follow it, and basic SQL helps for the programmatic part. A recording is shared the day after.
