NCBI Resources for Pathogen (Bacteria & Virus) Genomics Research

In this workshop, you will learn to use NCBI resources to search, access, and analyze animal and plant pathogen (bacteria and virus) data from individual isolates and metagenomes.  You will explore some general resources for all organisms, as well as some newly developed resources for bacteria and viruses. In addition, you will briefly see how to access and analyze data using standalone tools, such as the SRA Toolkit and Magic-BLAST.Specifically, you will learn to:

• • Find, browse, and download genome-, gene-, protein- and sequence read-level data for individual bacterial and viral pathogens and metagenomes
  • Access and display precomputed genome analyses and perform your own analyses of assembled and unassembled genomic data to identify organisms and genes
  • Find sequences, variants, antibiotic resistance genes using BLAST services, including SRA-BLAST
  • Explore the new and developing NCBI Virus and Pathogen Detection Project resources.
