● Pipelines expanded to increase scope of analysis, tools updated and tailoring of analysis to meet the demands of the Marine Metagenomics community. ● Analysis pipelines described in the Common Workflow Language (CWL) to enable reproducibility, facilitate comparisons and enhance development agility. ● Benchmark datasets generated for evaluating amplicon analyses across a range of biomes and 6 different marine shotgun metagenomics datasets developed. ● Cloud deployment of pipelines to increase compute capacity. ● New data analysis outputs that will feed the databases developed as part of this work package. ● Examples generated for federating searches across resource programmatic interfaces. ● Wide range of different training activities and material developed. ● Major interaction with Compute (WP4) and Interoperability (WP5) platforms in sharing problems and driving solutions (e.g. AAI and CWL, respectively)
