Quickstart the Platform

An overview of how to get started with CosmosID-HUB Microbiome and our award winning pipelines.

👍

We recommend running the CosmosID-HUB in Google Chrome, with browser zoom at 80%. To avoid local memory constraints, avoid having too many tabs open.



Step 1: Sign In (or request a free trial)

Navigate to app.cosmosid.com in your browser.


Step 2: Upload Your Samples and the Associated Metadata

Expand the navigation menu by clicking the hamburger icon alt text on upper left side of the screen.

Click "Upload" to navigate to the upload page.


There are 4 options for uploading either single- or paired-end data to the CosmosID-HUB:

  1. Drag and drop data from your local drive
  2. Connect an Illumina BaseSpace account
  3. Upload samples from NCBI SRA
  4. Upload local and cloud data through our CosmosID-HUB CLI

💵

Samples are analyzed on a per-sample fee basis and a credit system

Contact [email protected] for pricing.

You will then be prompted to:

A. Select your data type (Shotgun, 16S, ITS)

B. Remove host reads (optional)

C. Upload your Metadata (optional)

D. Select your workflow (CHAMP, Kepler, Functional, 16S, ITS)


Step 3: Relax while your samples automatically run

Profiling typically takes 1-24 hours to process depending on the size of the dataset.


Step 4: Look at your results

To view results for individual samples, click on the "Cohorts and Metadata" icon on the left navigation bar and click on your sample name. If needed, use the search bar on the top left to find your sample by name. Check out this video for an example:

For details about samples, visualizations, filtering, changing taxonomic levels, etc., go to View Results.


Step 5: Generate comparatives to discern and visualize taxonomic and functional patterns in your microbiome data

Please go to Create Comparatives to learn how to make comparatives with your data
