The service is provided "as is" to the user’s own risks. The user is solely responsible for the interpretation of the results. The site provides essentially two services. The initial service is to make published genotyping data accessible via a simple interface. This basic concept was initially (...)

What is this site useful for ?

What you need to know to get started

From the MicrobesGenotyping web page click "databases" at the right end side. This takes you to the list of public databases which can be viewed, queried, exported, without a login and pwd. Usually, such databases will correspond to published data. Often, databases for on-going projects may also exist, the creator of the public version may be an appropriate point of contact.
