MIG develops software and releases tools for microbial and phage genome analysis.

Most of our analysis is from work with other people. We love to collaborate and find new answers.

Use of Data and Software

All the software here is open source. You can look at it, copy it, and change it. However,  it has a copyright and the copyright is retained by its rightful owner.


Policy on use of data:


There is lots of data here. Really lots. If you are looking for something, then we probably have some data that will help. We have more data than we can handle, so it is here. We also have lots of collaborators, and they want to see their analysis. It is here too.

You can use our data.

Please analyze it. Tell us things that we have missed, got wrong, or got right, and we will credit you for the help. We're always looking for people to help with the analysis, so do enough of this, and maybe we'll hire you! Especially if you want to work for free:) Do something fun, interesting, or challenging, and we'll help you get it published somewhere.

Just don't be stupid. Don't publish the data as your own. Ask us, and we'll almost certainly let you publish anything you like, or add you as authors on papers that we are writing at the moment.

It's free and it's there to be used. Just not abused!

Don't be a dick1, don't do evil2. Enjoy and have fun!
