The retrieved information can be used to address questions of relevance in microbial ecology, for example with respect to the occurrence of specific microorganisms in different ecosystems or to perform targeted diversity studies. IMNGS also offers a complete pipeline for de novo analysis of a user's own raw amplicon sequencing data generated using the Illumina technology. Due to the personalised nature of many functions and the high computational cost related to the performed tasks, only registered users can submit jobs (registration can be done via the IMNGS home page; regsiter there as a Guest to learn more about what it can do). The IMNGS web interface can then be used to: search and select datasets/samples (runs), create and launch jobs, and inspect the outputs of the jobs.
