Global estimates for cholera annually approximate 4 million cases worldwide with 95,000 deaths. Recent outbreaks, including Haiti and Yemen, are reminders that cholera is still a global health concern. Cholera outbreaks can rapidly induce high death tolls by overwhelming the capacity of health facilities, especially in remote areas or areas of civil unrest. Recent studies demonstrated that stool specimens preserved on filter paper facilitate molecular analysis of Vibrio cholerae in resource limited settings. Specimens preserved in a rapid, low-cost, safe and sustainable manner for sequencing provides previously unavailable data about circulating cholera strains. This may ultimately contribute new information to shape public policy response on cholera control and elimination.

Collection of curated, non-redundant genomic DNA, transcript RNA, and protein sequences produced by NCBI. Provides a reference for genome annotation, gene identification and characterization, mutation and polymorphism analysis, expression studies, and comparative analyses. Accessed through the Nucleotide and Protein databases.
View all literature mentionsA set of software tools ( Reaper, Tally and Sequence Imp) designed to streamline the analysis of next-generation sequencing data. Although designed with small RNA sequence analysis in mind the tools can be used to address issues facing next-generation sequencing in general.
View all literature mentionsSoftware that aligns DNA sequencing reads with a reference genome. Reads from a wide range of sequencing platforms, for example Illumina, Roche-454, Ion Torrent, PacBio or ABI-Sanger, can be processed including paired reads.
View all literature mentionsFoundation to help all people lead healthy, productive lives, this funding and job resource is focused on health, poverty, and opportunity. They work with partner organizations worldwide to tackle critical problems in four program areas. Their Global Development Division works to help the world''s poorest people lift themselves out of hunger and poverty. Their Global Health Division aims to harness advances in science and technology to save lives in developing countries. Their United States Division works to improve U.S. high school and postsecondary education and support vulnerable children and families in Washington State. And their Global Policy & Advocacy Division seeks to build strategic relationships and promote policies that will help advance their work. Our approach to grantmaking in all four areas emphasizes collaboration, innovation, risk-taking, and, most importantly, results. The foundation is unable to make grants directly to individuals. The majority of our funding is proactive and made to U.S. tax-exempt organizations that are independently identified by our staff.

View all literature mentionsTHIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on February 28,2023. Software tool for the rapid annotation of prokaryotic genomes. It produces GFF3, GBK and SQN files that are ready for editing in Sequin and ultimately submitted to Genbank/DDJB/ENA. A typical 4 Mbp genome can be fully annotated in less than 10 minutes on a quad-core computer, and scales well to 32 core SMP systems.
View all literature mentionsSoftware that contiguates (align, order, orientate), visualizes and designs primers to close gaps on shotgun assembled contigs based on a reference sequence. ABACAS finds alignment positions and identifies syntenies of assembled contigs against the reference, then generates a pseudomolecule taking overlapping contigs and gaps into account.
