Welcome to BacMap 3.0

BacMap 3.0 is the world's largest atlas of annotated bacterial genomes, providing researchers with an interactive platform for exploring bacterial diversity at genomic, metabolic, and phylogenetic scales. The database integrates detailed genome annotations, gene and metabolite information, metabolic pathways, and high-quality visualizations within a unified, user-friendly environment. Through powerful search, browsing, and filtering tools, users can seamlessly navigate among genomes, genes, metabolites, pathways, and phylogenetic relationships, enabling both broad comparative analyses and organism-specific investigations. BacMap 3.0 combines comprehensive biological data with interactive genome and pathway viewers to support genome annotation, comparative genomics, metabolomics, and microbial research.
