Burkholderia Facts
Burkholderia is a genus of proteobacteria best-known for its pathogenic members:
Burkholderia mallei, responsible for
glanders, a disease that occurs mostly in horses and related animals;
Burkholderia pseudomallei, causative agent of
melioidosis; and
Burkholderia cepacia, an important source of
pulmonary infection in people with cystic fibrosis (CF).
The
Burkholderia (previously part of
Pseudomonas) genus name refers to a group of virtually ubiquitous gram-negative, motile, obligately aerobic rod-shaped bacteria including both animal/human and plant pathogens as well as some environmentally-important species.

Functional Genomics
Functional genomics attempts to make use of the vast wealth of data produced by genomic projects to describe gene and protein functions and interactions. Functional genomics focuses on dynamic aspects such as gene transcription, translation, and protein-protein interactions, as opposed to the static aspects of the genomic information such as DNA sequence or structures. Below we list the current tools available for functional genomics studies of Burkholderia.

Genome Properties
Genome Properties consists of a suite of "Properties" which are defined attributes of prokaryotic organisms including presence/absence of metabolic pathways and characteristics of a genome such as "human pathogen". These properties are evaluated by manual curation or computer algorithms.
KEGG Pathways
KEGG Pathways are manually drawn pathway maps representing the molecular interaction and reaction networks for metabolism, other cellular processes, and human diseases.
