PATRIC October 2014 Release Features New Special Data Sets and Updated Project Information¶
Additional Special Data Sets¶
In addition to incorporating large data sets from public repositories, PATRIC features Special Collections data pages that highlight data sets that were generated for users to use together to study a problem. Many of the collections have been generated by NIAID-funded projects to provide baseline data for further use by researchers. Where available, we include the results of the analysis across the collection of data. The following special data sets have been added or updated in this release:
Clinical Proteomics Centers: MS/MS and MRM data for the Caprion “Diagnostic & treatment response biomarkers of brucellosis,” “Discovery of serum protein biomarkers of Active Tuberculosis in HIV- and HIV+ Individuals,” and Biomarkers of TB Disease Progression projects”; Experimental data from the UTMB “Biomarkers of Helicobacter pylori associated peptic ulcer disease” project
Driving Biological Projects: RNA-Seq and ChIP-seq data sets for the “Identification of *Salmonella*-specific Regulatory Networks” project
Mycobacterium tuberculosis SNP data from the Broad Genome Sequencing Center: New Special Collections pages featuring SNP calls for genomes sequenced in the TB Antibiotic Resistance Catalog (TB-ARC) project
Links and information regarding the newly awarded Genomic Centers for Infectious Diseases (GCIDs)
Information regarding the Omics4TB Systems Biology Center
Information regarding the new NIAID Functional Genomics Program: Understanding the Functions of Uncharacterized Genes in Infectious Disease Pathogens awards
