ELIXIR-EXCELERATE D6.4: Report on assessment criteria and standardisation of metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs) from Marine samples

Demonstration of the application of completeness/contamination estimates on metagenome assembled genomes (MAGs) produced as part of WP6. These results of these estimates are discussed in relationship of the MIMAGs and MISAGs standards.

Survey of the genomes, MAGs and single amplified genomes (SAGs) found in the MAR database. This demonstrates that many of the draft genomes are heavily contaminated and/or incomplete.

Description of the new infrastructure in the European Nucleotide Archive, and how this has been structured to accommodate the data generated within WP6 (and more broadly).

We also highlight the current limitations and issues of the tools employed to estimate completeness and contamination.
