The Michael G. DeGroote Institute for Infectious Disease Research and the laboratory of Dr. Gerry Wright at McMaster University, Canada announces the beta release of The Comprehensive Antibiotic Resistance Database (CARD; arpcard.mcmaster.ca). CARD is a bioinformatic database of antibiotic resistance genes, their products and associated phenotypes that uses Chado and a custom Antibiotic Resistance Ontology as its core organizing principle. It serves as a basis for organizing antibiotic resistance molecular data and as a platform for de novo annotation of new genomic and metagenomic DNA sequence information.
