TL;DR: The Human Microbiome Project has analysed the largest cohort and set of distinct, clinically relevant body habitats so far, finding the diversity and abundance of each habitat’s signature microbes to vary widely even among healthy subjects, with strong niche specialization both within and among individuals.

TL;DR: The Integrated Microbial Genomes system serves as a community resource for comparative analysis of publicly available genomes in a comprehensive integrated context and provides tools and viewers for analyzing and reviewing the annotations of genes and genomes inA comparative context.

TL;DR: The Genomes On Line Database (GOLD) as mentioned in this paper is a comprehensive resource for centralized monitoring of genome and metagenome projects worldwide, containing information for more than 5800 sequencing projects.

TL;DR: This paper developed an Expert Review (ER) version of the Integrated Microbial Genomes (IMG) system, with the goal of supporting systematic and efficient revision of microbial genome annotations IMG ER provides tools for the review and curation of annotations of both new and publicly available microbial genomes within IMG's rich integrated genome framework.

TL;DR: The Integrated Microbial Genomes & Microbiomes system v.5.0 has a new and more powerful genome search feature, new statistical tools, and supports metagenome binning.
