Resources on the Internet

Here we historically provided links to research resources beyond our lab. Many have become invalid over the years, succumbing to bit-rot; broken links are periodically fixed or deleted, but no wholesale update is anticipated. We are open to suggestions for additional links.

Other Enterobacterial genome projects (aka the Deluge)

Keeping track of the multitude of other genome projects has become a Sisyphean task; there are well over 180,000 completed or ongoing sequencing projects for strains of E. coli alone. Here are links to major microbial sequencing centers, multi-organism databases, and related resources.

  • SalmoNet 2.0 An integrated multi-layered network of Salmonella
  • Microbial Genomes at NCBI public data from prokaryotic genome sequencing projects
  • NIH Human Microbiome Project
  • GOLD the Genomes OnLine Database

  • JGI Genome Portal DOE's Joint Genome Institute
  • BV-BRC the Bacterial and Viral Bioinformatics Resource Center
  • ATCC Genome Portal a comprehensive collection of microbial genomics reference data
  • EnteroBase, a resource for analyzing and visualizing genomic variation within enteric bacteria
    includes databases for Escherichia/Shigella, Salmonella, Mycobacterium, Streptococcus, Clostridioides, Vibrio, Yersinia, Helicobacter, & Moraxella
  • BioCyc Pathway/Genome Databases; EcoCyc is freely available, but access to the remaining BioCyc databases (over 20,000 organisms) requires a paid subscription
  • KEGG the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes; part of GenomeNet, a Japanese network of database and computational services for genome research
  • MiMeDB the Microbial Metabolites Database, containing detailed information about small molecule metabolites found in the human microbiome
