The UCSC Microbial Genome Browser is a window on the biology of more than 300 microbial species from Bacteria and Archaea domains. Basic gene annotaiton is derived from NCBI Genbank/RefSeq entries, with overlays of sequence conservation across multiple species, nucleotide and protein motifs, non-coding RNA predictions, operon predictions, and other types of bioinformatic analyses. In addition, we display available gene expression data, and soon, high-throughput RNA sequencing. Direct contributions of functional genomic data or bioinformatic analyses are welcome.

The Microbial Genome Browser at UCSC was developed by members of the Lowe Lab, with significant support from the UCSC Genome Browser group. The Microbial Browser is run by a slightly modified version of the UCSC Genome Browser system. All queries, bug reports, content corrections, suggested improvements, and new track data submissions should be sent to Todd Lowe (lowe@soe.ucsc.edu).

New species are added as they become public, and upon request.

If you use the browser in your published research, please cite our publication in the Nucleic Acids Research Database Issue.

Current support for this project is generously provided by the National Science Foundation (Award #0641061).
