The BV-BRC combines the data and tools from the Legacy BRC resources: PATRIC, the bacterial BRC, and IRD and ViPR, the viral BRCs provides integrated data and analysis tools to support biomedical research on bacterial infectious diseases. A variety of published genome, pathway, protein family and transcriptomics data can be analyzed and mined. Users can also upload their personal data for genomic, metagenomic, transcriptomic, proteomic and metabolomic analysis and comparison.
