Searchable Planetary-scale mIcrobiome REsource: a one stop shop for microbial data, integrated and consistently processed across habitats and phylogeny, at global scales.
Explore Environments Explore TaxonomySPIRE holds data derived from ~100k metagenomic samples in 739 studies encompassing ~500Tbp of publicly available raw metagenomes. It holds five main data types: manually curated contextual data, including annotations against a custom microntology
~16Tbp worth of metagenomic assemblies (contigs) ~35 billion metagenomic open reading frames (ORFs) called from these contigs, functionally annotated in various ways 1.16 million metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) of medium or high quality, co-clustered with isolate genomes into ~120 thousand species-level clusters a custom mOTU database mOTUs to allow taxonomic profiling against these species-level clusters. The aim of SPIRE is to provide an integrated view of microbial diversity at various taxonomic granularities, at genome and at gene level, across known microbial habitats.
