Get in touch if you have feedback or would like to see other data on metaTraits. metaTraits is fully Open Access and FAIR and was supported by a Flex Fund from nfdi4microbiota.de @nfdi4microbiota.bsky.social within @nfdi.de. Many thanks to all co-authors! 8/8

Bring your own data! 💻 We provide two workflows for the annotation of user-submitted data. Have a look at the examples and try them out on our metaTraits website: 5/8

Search 🔍 metaTraits by NCBI or GTDB taxonomy, or directly by IDs in the underlying DBs. Filter data sources to consider in your query: You can include/exclude genome-based predictions or toggle specific culture collections to strictly control the level of evidence you need. 3/8

View traits 📊 for individual microbes, or summarized at species, genus, or family level. Explore traditional culture-based traits (e.g. aerotolerance, pH, motility), alongside metrics derived from (meta)genomics (e.g. genome size, pangenome openness, generalism, population diversity). 2/8

We're excited to release metaTraits.embl.de! 🦠 Interactively explore 140+ 𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗻𝗼𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗶𝗰 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘁𝘀, harmonized & integrated from culture-derived collections 🔬 & genome-based predictions 🧬 for >2M MAGs & genomes.
