KBase Apps are analysis tools that you can use in KBase. Apps interoperate seamlessly to enable a range of scientific workflows (see figure below). Some of the apps were written by KBase scientists and developers; others are third-party tools that were integrated into KBase with our . The number of apps available in KBase increases as members of the community use our SDK to integrate their analysis tools into the KBase platform.

The App Catalog lists currently available Apps.

  • External (no user account or sign-in required for browsing).

  • Within KBase by clicking on the Catalog icon in the Menu

  • In a Narrative by clicking the right arrow at the top of the Apps Panel.

The majority of KBase Apps fall into the following categories:

Show me! Go straight to the

Note: you will need a to use our tools.

Tips on using the

  • Each app links to a reference page (which includes technical details about the inputs and outputs) called an App Details Page.

  • You can access the App Catalog from inside the Narrative Interface by clicking the small arrow in the upper right corner of the Apps Panel.

  • You can click the star at the lower left of any app to add it to your “favorites.” The gray star will turn yellow to indicate that you have favorited the app. The number to the right of the star shows how many people have favorited that app.

By default, the apps are sorted by category. Try the options in the “Organize by” menu to sort the apps by My Favorites, Run Count and other options.

Running Analysis Apps

Once you have added an app to the Narrative, you will need to select a data object as the Input Object and set Parameters. When working within an application, a red bar or banner will highlight empty fields and errors.

To run apps, you will need to .
