Abstract

****The Pathosystems Resource Integration Center (PATRIC) is a genomics-centric relational database and bioinformatics resource designed to assist scientists in infectious-disease research. This method paper provides detailed instructions on using this resource to finding data specific to genomes, saving it in a personalized workspace and using a variety of interactive tools to analyze that data. While PATRIC contains many diverse tools and functionalities to explore both genome-scale and gene expression data, the main focus of this chapter is on comparative analysis of bacterial genomes.
