About me
The Department of Energy Systems Biology Knowledgebase (KBase) is a knowledge creation and discovery environment designed for biologists and bioinformaticians. KBase integrates a variety of data and analysis tools, from DOE and other public resources, into an easy-to-use platform that leverages scalable computing infrastructure to perform sophisticated systems biology analyses. The platform is a freely available and developer extensible platform where scientists can analyze their own data within the context of public data, using a variety of open-source bioinformatics apps to power their workflows. The collaborative Narrative interface provides a digital notebook the allows users to research together and publish their analysis, data, and code with a persistent link and DOI identifiers to support reproducibility. KBase is funded by the DOE Biological and Environmental Research (BER) program. DOE BER sponsors user facilities and resources such as the Joint Genome Institute (JGI), the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL), the National Microbiome Data Collaborative (NMDC), and Environmental System Science Data Infrastructure for a Virtual Ecosystem (ESS-DIVE).
