PATRIC is one of eight Bioinformatics Resource Centers funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) to create and maintain a data and analysis resource for selected NIAID priority pathogens, specifically proteobacteria of the genera Brucella, Rickettsia and Coxiella, and corona-, calici- and lyssaviruses and viruses associated with hepatitis A and E. The center provides a comprehensive bioinformatics resource for these pathogens, including consistently annotated genome, proteome and metabolic pathway data to facilitate research into counter-measures, including drugs, vaccines and diagnostics. The Principal Investigator is Bruno Sobral. |
