(Pathema ) was one of the eight bioinformatics resource centers funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a component of the National Institute of Health (NIH), which is an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services. Pathema was funded for five years from 2004 through a contract to The J. Craig Venter Institute, and is currently led by PI Granger Sutton. Pathema is the web resource for JCVI's NIAID-funded Bioinformatics Resource Center, and was one of eight such centers designed to support bio-defense and infectious disease research. The overarching goal of Pathema is to provide a core resource that will accelerated scientific progress towards understanding, detection, diagnosis and treatment of diseases caused by six clades of Category A-C pathogens (''Bacillus anthracis'', ''Clostridium botulinum'', ''Burkholderia mallei'', ''Burkholderia pseudomallei'', ''Clostridium perfringens'', and ''Entamoeba histolytica'') involved in new and re-emerging infectious diseases. Pathema provides comprehensive curated datasets for the targeted pathogen clades, along with advanced bioinformatics capabilities geared specifically towards biodefense requirements, and the identification of potential targets for vaccine development, therapeutics and diagnostics. '' ==Note to All Pathema Users== The Pathema BRC contract ended December 2009. At that time JCVI ceased maintenance of the Pathema web resource and data. The (PATRIC ) team, located at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute, created and maintains a consolidated BRC for all of the NIAID category A-C priority pathogenic bacteria. The (EuPathDB ) team at the University of Pennsylvania supports all eukaryotic pathogens. Pathema transferred all data and software to (PATRIC ) and (EuPathDB ) for incorporation into their new Web-based bioinformatics resource.
