A practical approach to using the Genomic Standards Consortium MIxS reporting standard for comparative genomics and metagenomics

Abstract

Comparative analysis of (meta)genomes necessitates aggregation, integration, and synthesis of well-annotated data using standards. The Genomic Standards Consortium (GSC) collaborates with the research community to develop and maintain the Minimal Information about any (x) Sequence (MIxS) reporting standard for genomic data. To facilitate use of the GSC’s MIxS reporting standard, we provide a description of the structure and terminology, how to navigate ontologies for required terms in MIxS, and demonstrate practical usage through a soil metagenome example.
