EuPathDB's philosophy is to provide a data mining platform that allows users to ask their own questions in support of hypothesis driven research. The extensive range of data types (genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, etc.) maintained by EuPathDB broadens the user's ability to mine extensively by providing multiple forms of experimental evidence to interrogate. As the omics world expands, EuPathDB endeavors to support meaningful data types and has expanded its coverage over the past few years. source brought many genomes from this large and diverse research community. Updates to EuPathDB's Reflow workflow system (2) make it possible to quickly and reliably analyze and load data. Thus, over the past 4 years, numerous functional data sets have been loaded. Data sets of interest can be located with the data set search tool described above.
