"New Age" infectious disease informatics rests on advances in microbial genomics, the sequencing and comparative study of the genomes of pathogens, and proteomics or the identification and characterization of their protein related properties and reconstruction of metabolic and regulatory pathways (Bansal 2005) . The figure was produced using Artemis software (The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, UK) 1 Informatics for Infectious Disease Research and Control evidence-based gene calling or translating alignments of the DNA sequence to known proteins; and (3) aligning cDNAs from the same or related species. ./cache/cord-016588-f8uvhstb.txt ./txt/cord-016588-f8uvhstb.txt
