Calit2, in collaboration with the J. Craig Venter Institute, is creating a metagenomic Community Cyberinfrastructure for Advanced Marine Microbial Ecology Research and Analysis (CAMERA.

The CAMERA computational and storage cluster, which contains multiple ocean microbial metagenomic datasets, as well as the full genomes of 166 marine microbes, is actively in use. End users can access the metagenomic data either via the web or over novel dedicated 10 Gb/s light paths (termed "lambdas") through the National LambdaRail. Currently over 2000 users from over 50 countries are CAMERA registered users.
