The Bacterial and Viral Bioinformatics Resource Center (BV-BRC) is an online resource supporting scientific research into bacterial and viral infectious diseases. It brings together biological data, bioinformatics tools, and analysis workflows to help researchers explore pathogens, genomes, genes, proteins, and related information. Users can search or browse data covering bacteria, archaea, viruses, and eukaryotic hosts, including a broad range of bacterial pathogens and viral families.

BV-BRC offers tools for genome assembly and annotation, sequence searches, genome comparison, variation analysis, phylogenomics, and gene and protein analysis. Its services also include metagenomic classification and mapping, RNA-seq analysis, and specialized viral workflows for topics such as SARS-CoV-2 and influenza. Researchers can upload data to private workspaces, run analyses, manage results, and access batch processing through a command-line interface, data API, or FTP.

The platform also provides documentation, tutorials, reference guides, and reports, alongside outbreak information for events such as measles, mpox, and H5N1 influenza. BV-BRC serves as a comprehensive research resource for investigating infectious disease organisms and data
