CADRE Genomes

This project aims to support the international Aspergillus research community by gathering all genomic information regarding this significant genus into one resource - The Central Aspergillus REsource (CADRE). CADRE facilitates visualisation and analyses of data using the Ensembl software suite. Much of our data has been extracted from Genbank and augmented with the consent of the original sequencing groups. This additional work has been carried out using both automated and manual efforts, with support from specific annotation projects and the general Aspergillus community.

Please refer to the background documentation for more information about CADRE.

Other CADRE projects

• AsperCyc - a new resource that provides predicted metabolic pathways for the Aspergilli using data from CADRE.
• Aspergillus Genomes - a resource that spans the genetic and clinical aspects of the Aspergillus genus by cross-linking genomic information from CADRE with medical information from The Aspergillus Website.

Affliated projects

• The Aspergillus Website - this resource provides a wide range of information for patients, medical consultants and scientists regarding Aspergillus and its associated diseases.

External collaborators

• AspGD - a curated resource for Aspergillus maintained in the USA.
• Ensembl genomes - our mirror site in the UK.
• Eurofung - A European academic and industrial network of fungal researchers that provides much support to our work.
