A specialized database at the Los Alamos National Laboratory featuring multiple search and annotation features for the analysis of oral microbial genomes.
Microbial Large-Scale DNA Sequencing Projects
NIDCR Oral Microbe Microarray Initiative (NOMMI)
Pathogen Functional Genomics Resource Center - DNA Microarrays
This facility produces and distributes genomic DNA microarray slides (“chips”) for oral pathogens. The facility serves as an important resource to the infectious diseases community wishing to investigate the genomics of oral pathogens. To this end, the facility provides at no cost high quality microarrays to laboratories studying oral pathogens. See additional information and application instructions.
Ribosomal Database Project-II Release 9
The Ribosomal Database Project (RDP) provides ribosome related data and services to the scientific community, including online data analysis and aligned and annotated 16S rRNA sequences. Release 9 contains 114,231 aligned and annotated bacterial small-subunit rRNA sequences, and is updated frequently.
Comprehensive Candida Albicans Database
NIDCR grantees recently launched a comprehensive database on the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans . Called the Candida Genome Database, this new online resource is freely available to all members of the research community. The database provides comprehensive literature curration that complements existing sequence-based annotation and provides centralized information, such as a gene-name registry, for the Candida research community. It will soon also offer a more extensive set of sequence retrieval and analysis tools. The database was described in detail in a recent special issue of the journal Nucleic Acids Research.
