Did you know that some bacteria can break down plastics? One such microbe is Ideonella sakaiensis. Using our web platform MagicLamp, and its built-in module PlasticGenie, you can now identify plastic-degradation–related genes in any Ideonella genome that's on RefSeq. www.magiclamp.midauthorbio.com

Did you know that FeGenie has a simple-to-use GUI that requires no command-line experience? omix.midauthorbio.com Simply drop your (meta)genomes in and get results in minutes! We dropped in several hundred Prochlorococcus genomes to investigate their potential for iron acquisition and storage.

Ever wondered how many genomes of your favorite bug have been sequenced and from where? We built a simple web app (GenBanker) that takes genus/species as name input and provides metadata sheet, including all relevant information from NCBI's GenBank database. main.d2btq5ga9882fz.amplifyapp.com

Results from a sample run.

Genus: Shewanella
Species: oneidensis
