The Geogenomic Mutational Atlas of Pathogens (GoMAP) Web System
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new approach for pathogen surveillance we call Geogenomics. Geogenomics examines the geographic distribution of the genomes of pathogens, with a particular emphasis on those mutations that give rise to drug resistance. We engineered a new web system called Geogenomic Mutational Atlas of Pathogens (GoMAP) that enables investigation of the global distribution of individual drug resistance mutations. As a test case we examined mutations associated with HIV resistance to FDA-approved antiretroviral drugs. GoMAP-HIV makes use of existing public drug resistance and HIV protein sequence data to examine the distribution of 872 drug resistance mutations in ∼ 502,000 sequences for many countries in the world. We also implemented a broadened classification scheme for HIV drug resistance mutations. Several patterns for geographic distributions of resistance mutations were identified by visual mining using this web tool. GoMAP-HIV is an open access web application available at http://www.bio-toolkit.com/GoMap/project/

The Allen Developing Mouse Brain Atlas provides a cellular-resolution map of gene expression in the developing mouse brain from the embryo to the young adult. To provide a neuroanatomical framework for expression data, reference atlases for the Allen Developing Mouse Brain Atlas were created with the expertise of Professor Luis Puelles, M.D., Ph.D. (University of Murcia, Spain).

متن کاملAtlas: Storing, updating and querying RDF(S) data on top of DHTs
The RDF(S) data model has been proposed for encoding metadata about Web resources. As more and more Web resources are annotated using RDF(S), there is an urgent need for efficiently managing this large volume of data. In this paper, we present Atlas, a peer-to-peer system for storing, updating and querying RDF(S) data. The Atlas system has been built using the distributed hash table Bamboo. Atl...
