Multiplex Barcode Research And Visualization Environment

mBRAVE is a multi-user platform supporting the storage, validation, analysis, and publication of highly multiplexed projects based on high-throughput sequencing (HTS) instruments. This system builds on the BOLD Platform to support species identification and discovery for HTS data.

Highlighted features

Rapid Processing

Cluster computing is utilized to distribute analysis across multiple servers to reduce processing time from hours to minutes for common run sizes.
Fully Configurable

Supports flexible pipeline and configuration of all parameters by users. Data can be reanalyzed under varying parameter combinations to optimize for each experiment.

Secure Collaboration Environment

Run data need only be uploaded once before sharing with research teams and reviewers. Data is stored securely and shareable in password protected workspaces until publication.
Custom Reference Libraries

Along with access to the BOLD database for identification, custom reference libraries can be defined in BOLD and directly imported into mBRAVE.
