Analytics forpathogen, host, and vector data
BRC Analytics is under active development. This site will provide data access and analytical tools for all 785 eukaryotic pathogens, host taxa, and vectors previously served by VEuPathDB. However, we cannot do this alone.Use the button below to tell us about your usage patterns and enroll into our design advisory panel.
Get InvolvedBRC-Analytics is your new destination for analysis of biological data related to pathogens. Building on the legacy of VEuPathDb the platform will provide access and analysis capabilities for 785 eukaryotic pathogens, hosts, and vectors. The functionality will be developed and made available incrementally over the following months.
What is BRC-Analytics?
BRC-Analytics consists of three components spread over four resources: public computational infrastructure (TACC), authoritative data repositories and browsers (NCBI and UCSC) and an analytical platform (Galaxy).
GalaxyA platform for the analysis of data at any scale using public infrastructure
NCBI DatasetsA singular source for standardized genomic and functional data
UCSC Genome BrowserA global platform for visualization and interpretation of genomic data
TACCOne of the world’s leading academic computing centers

What is the plan?
BRC-Analytics is very new. Out plan is (1) establish access to official versions of VEuPathDB’s 785 genomes; (2) develop analytical workflows for common analyses such as transcriptomics, variation, assembly, and tightly integrate them with the data; (3) ingest and provide access to custom annotations that were previously available from VEuPathDB.

Where is the data?
I used to be able to access many types of data including genomes and associated annotations. Where do I find it now? Data for the majority of VEuPathDB organisms is available by clicking the “Datasets” link at the top.
How do I do analyses?
I used to rely on VEuPathDB to perform my analyses. Now that it is no longer available, what can I do? Many types of analyses are possible via integration with the Galaxy system while we continue to build this new BRC resource.
How does brc-analytics work?
BRC-Analytics will provide access to genomic data and an analytical environment. The data will be based on the official releases provided by NCBI Datasets and deployed through the UCSC Genome Browser. The analytics will be provided by the Galaxy system supported by powerful computational infrastructure provided by the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) and ACCESS-CI consortium.
