Web-Based Resources for Microbial Genomics
MicrobesOnline
MicrobesOnline is a website for browsing and comparing prokaryotic genomes.
MicrobesOnline is a product of the Virtual Institute for Microbial Stress
and Survival, which is sponsored by the US Department of Energy Genomic Science Program.
Integrated
Microbial Genomes (IMG)
The Integrated Microbial Genomes (IMG) system serves as a community
resource for comparative analysis and annotation of all publicly available
genomes from three domains of life, in a uniquely integrated context.
For more info, see Nucleic
Acids Research, 2008, Vol. 36, Database issue.
CAMERA:
Community Cyberinfrastructure for Advanced Marine Microbial Ecology Research
and Analysis
The aim of CAMERA is to serve the needs of the microbial ecology research
community by creating a rich, distinctive data repository and a bioinformatics
tools resource that will address many of the unique challenges of metagenomic
analysis.
DOE JGI Microbial
Genomics Database
From this site you can get details about JGI projects, or go directly
to the individual microbial sites. All of the individual sites include
direct access to download sequence file(s), BLAST, and view annotations.
Also, the Eukaryotic microbial sites include advanced tools.
GOLD™ Genomes OnLine
Database
GOLD is a World Wide Web resource for comprehensive access to information
regarding complete and ongoing genome projects, as well as metagenomes
and metadata, around the world.
JCVI
Comprehensive Microbial Resource (formerly The Institute
for Genomic Research)
The Comprehensive Microbial Resource (CMR) is a free website used to display
information on all of the publicly available, complete prokaryotic genomes.
Sanger
Centre Bacterial Genomes
The Sanger Institute bacterial sequencing effort is concentrated on pathogens
and model organisms. The site provides a list of projects funded, underway
or completed; all data from these projects are immediately and freely
available.
Microbial Genomes
from Genome Channel
Genome Channel is a computer-annotated listing of genomes maintained by
the Computational Biology group at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Protein Data Bank
The RCSB PDB provides a variety of tools and resources for studying the
structures of biological macromolecules and their relationships to sequence,
function, and disease.
KEGG: Kyoto Encyclopedia
of Genes and Genomes
A grand challenge in the post-genomic era is a complete computer representation
of the cell, the organism, and the biosphere, which will enable computational
prediction of higher-level complexity of cellular processes and organism
behaviors from genomic and molecular information. Towards this end we
have been developing a bioinformatics resource named KEGG as part of the
research projects of the Kanehisa Laboratories in the Bioinformatics Center
of Kyoto University and the Human Genome Center of the University of Tokyo.
