MGnify

MGnify is a free, open-access platform developed by EMBL-EBI for the analysis, archiving, and exploration of microbiome-derived data.

The service provides analyses of public and pre-publication data, applying standardised, reproducible pipelines to amplicon, metagenomic, metatranscriptomic, and assembly-based datasets to generate rich functional and taxonomic annotations. MGnify also hosts biome-specific genome catalogues that enable users to explore microbial diversity across environments ranging from human-associated to marine, soil, and beyond. In addition, MGnify maintains a large, non-redundant protein database derived from microbiome datasets, supporting the exploration of microbial function.

By combining robust bioinformatics, long-term data stewardship, and seamless integration with other EMBL-EBI resources, MGnify empowers the global research community to discover, compare, and reuse microbiome data at scale.

MGnify is managed by EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI).
