Aim

Process, environment, organism (PREGO) is a systems-biology approach to elucidate ecosystem function at the microbial dimension. To understand how ecosystems function it is fundamental to understand what processes occur in which environments (where), and which organisms carry them out (who). Its main motivation is to provide a one-stop-shop for researchers interested in searching and visually exploring such what - where - who associations.

prego_gathering_data, here are the scripts that gather data from resources and extract associations.

prego_daemons, here are the scripts that periodically update the PREGO knowledge base.

prego_mappings, here are the scripts that transform all identifiers to the ones that PREGO has adopted.

prego_statistics, here are the scripts which count all contents of PREGO and summarize them in the different taxonomic ranks.
