The Pathosystems Resource Integration Center (PATRIC) is a comprehensive bacterial bioinformatics resource that integrates various data types, including genomics, transcriptomics, protein-protein interactions (PPIs), three-dimensional protein structures, and sequence typing data. As of September 2013, PATRIC hosts over 10,000 bacterial genomes, all consistently annotated using RAST. The platform provides tools for comparative genomic and transcriptomic analysis, as well as integrated information related to disease and PPIs. Key features include a private workspace for users to store and analyze their own data, a genome browser, a transcriptomic data viewer, and a protein-protein interaction gateway. PATRIC also supports data downloads and offers a suite of analytical capabilities, such as phylogenetic trees, metabolic pathway analysis, and RNA-Seq analysis. Future improvements include integrating additional data types, enhancing annotations, and expanding the Bring Your Own Data (BYOD) concept.The Pathosystems Resource Integration Center (PATRIC) is a comprehensive bacterial bioinformatics resource that integrates various data types, including genomics, transcriptomics, protein-protein interactions (PPIs), three-dimensional protein structures, and sequence typing data.
