MicrobesOnline -- Prokaryotic Genome Database

URL:

http://www.microbesonline.org/

What you can do:

Find information about 1000s of microbial genomes.

Highlights:

MicrobesOnline is a resource for comparative and functional genome analysis.
The portal includes over 1000 complete genomes of bacteria, archaea and fungi and thousands of expression microarrays from diverse organisms ranging from model organisms such as Escherichia coli and Saccharomyces cerevisiae to environmental microbes such as Desulfovibrio vulgaris and Shewanella oneidensis.
To assist in annotating genes and in reconstructing their evolutionary history, MicrobesOnline includes a comparative genome browser based on phylogenetic trees for every gene family as well as a species tree.
To identify co-regulated genes, MicrobesOnline can search for genes based on their expression profile, and provides tools for identifying regulatory motifs and seeing if they are conserved.
It also includes fast phylogenetic profile searches, comparative views of metabolic pathways, operon predictions, a workbench for sequence analysis and integration with RegTransBase and other microbial genome resources.
The next update of MicrobesOnline will contain significant new functionality, including comparative analysis of metagenomic sequence data.
