KBase provides multiple to enable researchers to understand evolutionary relationships between organisms and explore structural and functional variance across genomes.

Phylogenetic and Taxonomic Analysis

  • – Build a phylogenetic tree with your genomes and RefSeq microbial genomes based on conserved orthologous groups

  • () – Build a phylogenetic tree with your genome and phylum exemplars from RefSeq

  • () – Build an evolutionary reconstruction tree for a collection of sequence homology related genes

  • – Build a tree with FastTree2 directly on a user-created Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA)

Sequence Homology and Functional Analysis

  • , , and – Search genes in genomes and Annotated Metagenome Assemblies (AMAs) and compare translated protein sequences

  • – Search genes and AMAs and compare nucleotide sequences

  • and – Search genes and AMAs and compare protein sequences

  • MUSCLE for or sequences – Build and analyze multiple sequence alignments (MSA)

  • – Search and profile genes in genomes and Annotated Metagenome Assemblies (AMAs) with a collection of user-defined MSAs

    • – Search genes in genomes and AMAs with a single user-defined MSA

    • – Search and profile genes in genomes and AMAs with the suite of CAZy dbCAN2 hidden markov models (HMMs)

    • – Search and profile genes in genomes and AMAs with the suite of GTDB protein phylogenetic marker HMMs

    • – Search and profile genes in genomes and AMAs with the suite of Environmental BioElement metabolic families

  • – Compute canonical gene family membership using COG, Pfam, and TIGRFAMs

  • and – Examine functional content from canonical domain family annotation

Pangenome Exploration

– Compare proteomes and produce a synteny map dot plot matrix and table of gene differences

– Group orthologous protein sequences and identify core and non-core genes across multiple species

- Calculate pangenome for microbial genomes, including MAGs of varying quality

– Build a pangenome and evaluate protein family conservation

– View a microbial pangenome as a circle plot using

– Compare isofunctional and homologous gene families within a pangenome

– View the pangenome in a phylogenetic context
