PATRIC,^[1] the Pathosystems Resource Integration Center, is one of the four Bioinformatics Resource Centers (BRC) funded by the National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, NIAID a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which is an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. PATRIC integrates information and tools for all bacterial species in the selected NIAID category A-C priority pathogens list to help researchers analyze genomic, proteomic and other data arising from infectious disease research.
