Advanced bioinformatics methods are required to make use of genome sequencing data.

KEGG is a knowledge base for linking genomes to high-level biological functions.

BlastKOALA is a KEGG Web service for annotating genomes and understanding organisms.

GhostKOALA is another service for annotating metagenomes and understanding ecosystems.

Both are based on the newly developed non-redundant dataset of pangenome sequences.
