Centrosomes (Cs) are the main microtubule organizing centers of many eukaryotic cells with critical roles in cell division, polarity, signaling and structure. Centrioles can act as basal bodies (BB), nucleating microtubules to form cilia […]

About the Nanopore User Group: The Nanopore User Group at Institut Pasteur was established in 2019 with the primary goal of fostering collaboration, sharing knowledge, and advancing the application of Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) […]

Project context and summary : The phylogenetic position and status of “giant viruses”, formerly called NucleoCytoplasmic Large DNA viruses (NCLDV) or putative order Megavirales, are controversial. Many preliminary phylogenetic analyses have been published, but […]

The protozoan parasite Leishmania donovani causes fatal visceral leishmaniasis, one of the most neglected tropical diseases. In the absence of economic incentive, serious Research and Development (R&D) investments into anti-leishmanial drug development lack from […]

High-throughput sequencing has revolutionized our abilities to track and characterize novel bacterial strains as they emerge and disseminate globally. Genome-based epidemiological typing systems provide ultimate resolution for strain discrimination. Genome sequences may also be […]

The Institut Pasteur has voluminous activities of microbial strain characterisation, in the context of epidemiological surveillance, biological resource centres collections management, and research. These activities involve National Reference Centers, WHO-collaborative centers, biological resources centers […]

BIGSdb-Pasteur is the genomic-based strain taxonomy and nomenclature platform of Institut Pasteur, powered by the BIGSdb software developed at Oxford University. This web platform hosts collections of curated, open or private databases of bacterial […]

Scans a set of protein sequences for type IV secretion systems and relaxases using HMM profiles. See Guglielmini et al. (2011) for our criteria to class loci on the basis of this output. Except […]

Protein secretion systems are key virulence factors of all major bacterial pathogens with an LPS-containing outer membrane: Shigella, Escherichia coli, Yersinia pestis, Salmonella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Helicobacter pylori, Vibrio cholerae, etc. Protein secretion systems are […]

Warning: This data is old and the site will be discontinued soon. We are working on an alternative. This website allows to query a dataset of 947 conjugative systems, 646 non-conjugative T4SS and 1,180 […]
