http://www.broadinstitute.org/software/pathseq/

A computational tool for the identification and analysis of microbial sequences in high-throughput human sequencing data that is designed to work with large numbers of sequencing reads in a scalable manner. This process is composed of a subtractive phase in which input reads are subtracted by alignment to human reference sequences, and an analytic phase in which the remaining reads are aligned to microbial reference sequences (viral, fungal, bacterial, archaeal) and de novo assembled. PathSeq is currently available in a cloud computing environment via Amazon Web Services The typical approach one would take to pathogen discovery with PathSeq: RNA or DNA is extracted from the tissue of interest and sequencing libraries are constructed to be run on the next-generation DNA sequencing platform of choice. The resulting sequence data is run through the PathSeq pipeline in a cloud computing environment. PathSeq reports potential microbes in the sequence data as well as the complete set of reads that could not be identified as human or microbial sequences.

http://www.cazy.org

Database that describes the families of structurally-related catalytic and carbohydrate-binding modules (or functional domains) of enzymes that degrade, modify, or create glycosidic bonds. This specialist database is dedicated to the display and analysis of genomic, structural and biochemical information on Carbohydrate-Active Enzymes (CAZymes). CAZy data are accessible either by browsing sequence-based families or by browsing the content of genomes in carbohydrate-active enzymes. New genomes are added regularly shortly after they appear in the daily releases of GenBank. New families are created based on published evidence for the activity of at least one member of the family and all families are regularly updated, both in content and in description. An original aspect of the CAZy database is its attempt to cover all carbohydrate-active enzymes across organisms and across subfields of glycosciences. One can search for CAZY Family pages using the Protein Accession (Genpept Accession, Uniprot Accession or PDB ID), Cazy family name or EC number. In addition, genomes can be searched using the NCBI TaxID. This search can be complemented by Google-based searches on the CAZy site.

http://www.jcvi.org/mpidb

Database that collects and provides all known physical microbial interactions. Currently, 24,295 experimentally determined interactions among proteins of 250 bacterial species/strains can be browsed and downloaded. These microbial interactions have been manually curated from the literature or imported from other databases (IntAct, DIP, BIND, MINT) and are linked to 26,578 experimental evidences (PubMed ID, PSI-MI methods). In contrast to these databases, interactions in MPIDB are further supported by 68,346 additional evidences based on interaction conservation, co-purification, and 3D domain contacts (iPfam, 3did). (spoke/matrix) binary interactions inferred from pull-down experiments are not included.

http://www.homd.org/index.php

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.Documented on April 14,2022. Database of comprehensive information on the approximately 600 prokaryote species that are present in the human oral cavity. The majority of these species are uncultivated and unnamed, recognized primarily by their 16S rRNA sequences. The HOMD presents a provisional naming scheme for the currently unnamed species so that strain, clone, and probe data from any laboratory can be directly linked to a stably named reference entity. The HOMD links sequence data with phenotypic, phylogenetic, clinical, and bibliographic information. Full and partial oral bacterial genome sequences determined as part of this project and the Human Microbiome Project, are being added to the HOMD as they become available. HOMD offers easy to use tools for viewing all publicly available oral bacterial genomes. Data is also downloadable.

http://wishart.biology.ualberta.ca/BacMap

An interactive visual database containing hundreds of fully labeled, zoomable, and searchable maps of bacterial genomes. It uses a visualization tool (CGView) to generate high-resolution circular genome maps from sequence feature information. Each map includes an interface that allows the image to be expanded and rotated. In the default view, identified genes are drawn to scale and colored according to coding directions. When a region of interest is expanded, gene labels are displayed. Each label is hyperlinked to a custom ''gene card'' which provides several fields of information concerning the corresponding DNA and protein sequences. Each genome map is searchable via a local BLAST search and a gene name/synonym search. A complete listing of the species and strains in the BacMap database is available on the BacMap homepage. Below each species/strain name is a list of the sequenced chromosomes and plasmids that are available. Some features of BacMap include: * Maps are available for 2023 bacterial chromosomes. * Each map supports zooming and rotation. * Map gene labels are hyperlinked to detailed textual annotations. * Maps can be explored manually, or with the help of BacMap''s built in text search and BLAST search. * A written synopsis of each bacterial species is provided. * Several charts illustrating the proteomic and genomic characteristics of each chromosome are available. * Flat file versions of the BacMap gene annotations, gene sequences and protein sequences can be downloaded. BacMap can be used to: * Obtain basic genome statistics. * Visualize the genomic context of genes. * Search for orthologues and paralogues in a genome of interest. * Search for conserved operon structure. * Look for gene content differences between bacterial species. * Obtain pre-calculated annotations for bacterial genes of interest.

https://www.genome.wisc.edu/tools/asap.htm

Database and web interface developed to store, update and distribute genome sequence data and gene expression data. ASAP was designed to facilitate ongoing community annotation of genomes and to grow with genome projects as they move from the preliminary data stage through post-sequencing functional analysis. The ASAP database includes multiple genome sequences at various stages of analysis, and gene expression data from preliminary experiments. Use of some of this preliminary data is conditional, and it is the users responsibility to read the data release policy and to verify that any use of specific data obtained through ASAP is consistent with this policy. There are four main routes to viewing the information in ASAP: # a summary page, # a form to query the genome annotations, # a form to query strain collections, and # a form to query the experimental data. Navigational buttons appear on every page allowing users to jump to any of these four points., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.
