A new beta version of JCoast 1.6 has been released. This version includes many small fixes and reported bugs (#124, #125 and #117). Please report bugs or request features here.
We are happy to activate today our new, more powerful JCoast server under ws2.jcoast.net. Further, we transferred the demo account to this server, too. Please check the new properties for the demo here.
The genome server at the Microbial Genomics Group/MPI-Bremen is going into maintenance mode this weekend (8 - 12/10). This will slow down the connection and the server will be read only (no annotations will be stored).
A new beta version of JCoast 1.6 has been release today. This version includes complete functionality via webservice. A couple of help messages are still missing and will be included into the final version.
The Microbial Genomics Group at the MPI has published the web-based software tool MetaBar. Metabar supports consistent contextual data acquisition in compliance to the MIGS/MIMS/MIENS specifications defined by the Genomic Standards Consortium.
I already used a prior final version to generate a structured comment file for a metagenome submission via Sequin and it works quite well.
