Northeast Biodefense Center
Role: informatics core participant (Yves Lussier, core director)

The overall grant is funding for a biodefense center in the Northeast. The Gerstein lab contribution is part of the informatics core. We proposed to develop a tool to help with the rapid annotation and characterization of a newly sequenced microbial pathogen. Our tool will comprise a number of modules including large-scale rapid similarity comparisons, structure and localization prediction, rapid information retrieval, and prediction of interactions.
