the sponge microbiome database
SpongeEMP is a comprehensive datatset of sea sponge microbiome samples, which is a part of the Earth Microbiome Project. See Paper.
The server enables retrieving statistics regarding a given 16S V4 sequence (or set of sequences), identifying significant sponge taxa / geographic locations and sample types where this sequences is enriched in the SpongeEMP dataset.
A running SpongeEMP server is available at: spongeemp.com/.
SpongeEMP can be used as a database for bacterial identification in the Calour analysis program.
The server can also be installed locally by the following commands:
conda create --name SpongeEMP python=3 scipy numpy pandas flask h5py nose matplotlib
source activate SpongeEMP
pip install biom-format
pip install flask-autodoc
pip install git+git://github.com/amnona/SpongeEMP
source activate SpongeEMP
export FLASK_APP=Server_Main.py
export FLASK_DEBUG=1
flask run
The repository contains two biom tables used by the SpongeEMP server (both located in sponge_emp/data/):
final.withtax.biom : a deblurred biom table of all the SpongeEMP samples. Taxonomy has been added using the qiime assign_taxonomy.py using RDP and GreenGenes.
spongeemp.sub5k.biom : similar to final.withtax.biom, but rarified to 5000 reads/sample. This is what is used by the SpongeEMP server.
