will contain high-quality annotated data: sequence annotations from
published whole and partial genomes; relevant experimental data; meta-
bolic pathway data; taxonomic and ontological data; relevant literature,
and a suite of visualization and analysis tools. An organism expert
(OE) — a scientist with several years of experience and a recognized
authority in the field — will help direct the curation of each organism
and connect PATRIC to the specific research community (see Table 2).
Genome Curation Process
The main goal of the curation process is to provide well-curated
resources for the organisms to the scientific community. The genome
curation process is depicted in Fig. 2 and is classified into following
main categories:
Fig. 2.
The PATRIC curation schema. Displayed is the flow of informa-
tion from the genomic sequence of an organism to other types of systemic
data: transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic. Also shown are the vari-
ous individuals who will take part in the annotation process.
