This lesson provides an introduction to BV-BRC, the Bacterial and Viral Resource Integration Center (formerly PATRIC), a Bioinformatics Resource Center dedicated to supporting bacterial research. BV-BRC provides comprehensive bacterial genomic data with integrated analysis tools and visualizations. BV-BRC also provides a private workspace where users can upload and analyze their own data. BV-BRC will serve as the platform for the analysis methods covered in this module.
Note that the exercises were developed using the PATRIC, the predecessor system to BV-BRC. However, BV-BRC was built from PATRIC, so most of the content is still the same.
Assembly
This lesson provides step-by-step instructions for assembling a genome from a set of bacterial sequence reads using the BV-BRC Genome Assembly Service. Exercises are included to enhance comprehension and build proficiency in using the assembly process.

Annotation
This lesson provides step-by-step instructions for annotating a genome from contigs using the BV-BRC Bacterial Genome Annotation Service. Exercises are included to enhance comprehension and build proficiency in using the annotation process.

Comprehensive Genome Analysis
This lesson provides step-by-step instructions for assembling, annotating, and performing an automated analysis of a genome from a set of bacterial sequence reads using the BV-BRC Comprehensive Genome Analysis Service. Exercises are included to enhance comprehension and build proficiency in using the service.

Codon-Based Phyogenetic Trees
This lesson provides step-by-step instructions for generating a codon-based phylogentic tree from a set of genomes using the BV-BRC Codon Tree Service. Exercises are included to enhance comprehension and build proficiency in using the service.

Similar Genome Finder
This lesson provides step-by-step instructions for finding genomes (and associated taxonomy) in BV-BRC similar to your genome or sequences using the Similar Genome Finder Service. Exercises are included to enhance comprehension and build proficiency in using the service.

Protein Family Sorter
This lesson provides step-by-step instructions for using the BV-BRC Protein Family Sorter to compare presence, absence, and counts of proteins in protein families across a set of genomes. Exercises are included to enhance comprehension and build proficiency in using the tool.

Proteome Comparison
This lesson provides step-by-step instructions for using the BV-BRC Proteome Comparison Service to compare a set of genomes against a reference genome, feature group, or FASTA file. Exercises are included to enhance comprehension and build proficiency in using the tool.
