parsomics Reference Dataset

parsomics is a local-first data management tool designed to efficiently organize large volumes of data from prokaryotic metagenomics workflows. parsomics supports the automatic parsing and integration of diverse file formats, produced throughout typical metagenomics workflows, into the parsomics Local Relational Database (pLRDB) - a standardized, cohesive, querriable representation of the full workflow. parsomics was developed by researchers from the Brazilian National Biorenewables Laboratory, within the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM).

This reference dataset was made with public data from a metagenomics study conducted at CNPEM, which analyzed soil samples covered with sugarcane bagasse that has been maintained over decades in a biorefinery at the state of São Paulo, Brazil (doi:10.1038/s41586-024-08553-z). This dataset contains files produced by multiple bioinformatics tools whose output formats are supported by parsomics. The project's documentation includes a detailed specification supported file formats, as well as general usage guide.
