Transfer Services (FTP) file server
How to download data from MGnify’s file server
Transfer Services
EMBL-EBI operates a Transfer Services file server, providing high-bandwidth access to datasets from EMBL-EBI services including MGnify.
MGnify’s (public) results are available in the following directories:
- Metagenomic analyses (i.e. the files produced when analysing MGYA-accessioned analyses) from https://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/metagenomics/mgnify_results/
- Genomes (i.e. the files produced when analysing MGYG-accessioned genomes from catalogues) from https://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/metagenomics/mgnify_genomes/
- These files are arranged into the biome-specific catalogues according to the MGnify Genomes schema
- Proteins (the MGnify Protein database of proteins found in metagenome assemblies) from https://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/metagenomics/peptide_database/
- These files are arranged into date-versioned releases. The latest release is always linked from https://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/databases/metagenomics/peptide_database/current_release/
