The RC provides the scientific community with integrated, heterogeneous, experimental data and comprehensive protein annotation, addressing pathogen life cycle biology, host response and the interaction between host and pathogen. To obtain specific experimental data, a user can navigate the RC website following the web links. For querying specific gene/protein information, the user can query the database by using the 'site search' function located at the top header bar of every page or the specifically designed search functionality found in the annotation and experiment data pages. In the following text, two use cases illustrate how the RC resource can be used by the scientific community.
