is a Data Source.
The Bacterial and Viral Bioinformatics Resource Center (BV-BRC) is a comprehensive resource for bacterial and viral infectious disease research that combines the data, technology, and extensive user communities from two long-running centers - PATRIC (the bacterial system) and IRD/ViPR (the viral systems). BV-BRC provides integrated data, advanced bioinformatics tools, and workflows to support the scientific community in understanding and combating infectious diseases.

The Bacterial and Viral Bioinformatics Resource Center (BV-BRC) is an information system designed to support the biomedical research community’s work on bacterial and viral infectious diseases via integration of vital pathogen information with rich data and analysis tools. BV-BRC combines the data, technology, and extensive user communities from two long-running centers: PATRIC, the bacterial system, and IRD/ViPR, the viral systems.
BV-BRC includes hundreds of thousands of bacterial genomes from PATRIC and over a million viral genomes from IRD/ViPR. It also hosts data on protein structure and function, clinical studies, drug targets and resistance, epidemiology, and other features.
BV-BRC was formed by combining two historically independent efforts: PATRIC (Pathosystems Resource Integration Center) for bacterial data and IRD/ViPR (Influenza Research Database/Virus Pathogen Resource) for viral data. It represents an evolution and integration of these previously separate resources.
BV-BRC is the successor to PATRIC, incorporating all of PATRIC’s bacterial data and functionality while expanding to include viral data from IRD/ViPR. Researchers who previously used PATRIC for bacterial genomics and bioinformatics should now use BV-BRC as it contains all the data and tools from PATRIC plus additional resources and capabilities.
