MEGARes

MEGARes is a hand-curated antibiotic resistance database which


incorporates previously published resistance sequences for
MEGARes
antimicrobial drugs, while also expanding to include published Content
sequences for metal and biocide resistance determinants. In Description MEGARes is an
MEGARes 3.0, the nodes of the acyclic hierarchical ontology
antimicrobial
include four antimicrobial compound types, 59 classes, 223
resistance
mechanisms of resistance, and 1,448 gene groups that classify the
database made
8,733 gene accessions. [1][2][3] This works in conjunction with the
AMR++ bioinformatics pipelin (version 3.0) to classify resistome for high
sequences directly from FASTA. throughput
sequencing
The database focuses on the analysis of large-scale, ecological based at
sequence datasets with an annotation structure that allows for the collaborating
development of high throughput acyclical classifiers and centers
hierarchical statistical analysis of big data. MEGARes annotation
consists of three hierarchical levels when looking at AMR genes: Data types Antimicrobial
