MPD: a pathogen genome and metagenome database.

ABSTRACT: Advances in high-throughput sequencing have led to unprecedented growth in the amount of available genome sequencing data, especially for bacterial genomes, which has been accompanied by a challenge for the storage and management of such huge datasets. To facilitate bacterial research and related studies, we have developed the Mypathogen database (MPD), which provides access to users for searching, downloading, storing and sharing bacterial genomics data. The MPD represents the first pathogenic database for microbial genomes and metagenomes, and currently covers pathogenic microbial genomes (6604 genera, 11 071 species, 41 906 strains) and metagenomic data from host, air, water and other sources (28 816 samples). The MPD also functions as a management system for statistical and storage dat
