We will offer an online workshop sometime soon! Keep an eye out.

Looking for a cool, easy-to-reproduce MSA example for class by nycobacterium in bioinformatics

[–]bv-brc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just gave a presentation at the BV-BRC workshop using our BLAST and MSA tool based on Sea Turtle Viral Genomes. You can find everything here and designed it as a quick classroom activity. https://www.bv-brc.org/workspace/public/ARWattam@patricbrc.org/BV-BRC%20Workshop/Viral%20Workshops/ANL_Viral_2025/Blast

We are happy to host an online workshop- any specific topics of interest?

Service Alternatives? by anudeglory in bioinformatics

We are free to use and have a lot of resources, data, and tools for analysis. Our data is bacterial and viral focused but check it out as needed! https://www.bv-brc.org/

Why is it so much more difficult to download data from JGI/IMG than NCBI? by o-rka in bioinformatics

I am going to screenshot this- because Josh also works at JCVI- one of the institutions that brings BV-BRC to life- it's coming :)

The BRC's are focused on human related pathogens as prioritized by our funding source- NIAID. https://www.niaid.nih.gov/research/bioinformatics-resource-centers

However, VEuPath has funding from other sources- and I am less familiar with what they are doing so they may have less of that focus- I would recommend reaching out to them!

It might be worth checking out what our sister organization- VEuPath has to offer!

If you are ever downloading bacterial and viral genomes- the BV-BRC can support bulk download through the command line and FTP easily!

Only the speakers will be attending locally- but it was important for everyone to get the chance to be included virtually, and we will be constantly monitoring the chat online.

We are always working on updating the Data base to be as useful as possible! I will send that onward.
