This video is the recording of our recent Zoom event, during which we intended to provide members of the microbial 'omics community with a brief introduction to anvi'o, a short descriptions of new tools and strategies the latest version of anvi'o makes available, and an open Q&A session to discuss anything.

A relatively more complete set of features that come with anvi'o v7 is here:


We hoped that this will be a good opportunity for potential anvi'o users to learn about the most basic tenets and the purpose of the platform, and for existing anvi'o users to learn about new toys anvi'o makes available to them and find answers to their specific questions to the developers.

The Q&A session is not included in this video, but we hope that if you end up watching it you'd feel free to ask your questions in the comments section.
