Functional Protein Annotations from CARD, KEGG, and VFDB Databases

Associated annotation files for programs used in a research paper. The dataset includes annotations from CARD, KEGG, VFDB, BacMet, TADB, Padloc, eggnog, and Anti-CRISPRdb. It is a 34.7 MB XLSX file published by James Mullet on figshare under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Predicting antibiotic resistance genes based on CARD annotations.
• Mapping protein functions to metabolic pathways using KEGG annotations.
• Identifying bacterial virulence factors based on VFDB annotations.
• Screening for antimicrobial resistance genes in environmental samples using BacMet annotations.
• Analyzing CRISPR-Cas systems and anti-CRISPR proteins using TADB and Anti-CRISPRdb annotations.

Strengths

• Integrates annotations from eight established databases, including CARD and KEGG.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.
• File size of 34.7 MB suggests a detailed, multi-sheet XLSX structure.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
