Using Phase Genomics' Web Platform for ProxiMeta Metagenome Analysis

The Phase Genomics platform website offers powerful capabilities to combine data from our Hi-C kits with other metagenomic data, delivering rich biological insights by leveraging the chromatin structure information of Hi-C. In addition to delivering more high-quality genomes than any other method, ProxiMeta offers the unique capability to perform host attribution for plasmids, viruses, AMR genes, and other mobile elements with no additional special experimental requirements. This page will show you how to use the Phase Genomics platform website.

Aligning and QCing Phase Genomics Hi-C Data

Proper alignment and QC of Hi-C data is critical to getting great analytical results. Phase Genomics Hi-C kits include protocol optimizations that may make the data slightly different than what you may be used to with other Hi-C preps. Our specific recommendations for aligning, QCing, and optionally filtering data from our protocols will help you get the most out of your data.

Preparing Starting Assemblies for Scaffolding with Phase Genomics Hi-C Data

Hi-C is a great tool for genome scaffolding, but its success depends crucially on the starting assembly. It is therefore important to ensure that your starting assembly is of sufficient quality for the scaffolding task. Our guidelines will help you make good decisions about what technologies to use and how to understand and improve scaffolding results.
