Today is a big day for One Codex, where we’re launching out of beta!
This marks the introduction of a number of new features (and many under-the-hood improvements), and incorporates much of the feedback our users have provided this year. You will notice some changes to our website, and the platform can now be found at app.onecodex.com (note that all previous links to the beta site will still work).
Today we’re launching our new sample comparison tool on the One Codex Beta Platform.
The tool enables quick selection and comparison of any of your samples and displays the abundance of taxonomic groups in each sample as a stacked bar graph:
The comparison view supports large side-by-side comparisons, viewing data at a particular taxonomic level and/or abundance, filtering to specific clades, and relative vs. absolute scaling modes.
We’re pleased to announce that we’re launching a new feature on One Codex today: instant sequence search.
With this new tool, simply enter a nucleotide sequence – whether a read from a FASTQ file or a section of a reference genome – and we’ll instantly compare it against our One Codex database.
We’re happy to announce that we’ve just released larger, improved microbial reference libraries on One Codex.
The RefSeq Database now includes over 7,000 reference and representative genomes from NCBI, while the One Codex Database holds nearly 34,000 different bacterial, viral, fungal, and archeal genomes. This is more than a 45% and 20% increase, respectively, from the last releases of the RefSeq and One Codex databases. As with all of our data releases, you should continue to see improvements in the specificity of your analyses by using our more comprehensive reference libraries.
This week, we’re excited to announce a few improvements to help you to better organize and share your data on the One Codex beta platform.
First, you can now make individual samples public, at which point you can share an analysis with anyone (and, of course, you’re always able to make the sample private again too). Here’s a sample public analysis.
Second, we’ve added the ability to both sort and filter your samples in the main datasets view. This is particularly useful for some of our users who are beginning to accumulate large numbers of samples.
