💊 Gene-based genome retrieval

Search and retrieve genomes by antimicrobial resistance, virulence, and plasmid replicon content. Pick genes of interest, switch between match-ANY and match-ALL, and export the accession list for re-downloading genomes.

💊
AMR Genes
Carbapenemases & more
Retrieve genomes by resistance determinant — OXA-23, OXA-24/40, OXA-58, NDM, KPC, VIM, IMP.
463 AMR genes →
🦠
Virulence Factors
VFDB catalogue
Search genomes by virulence gene content — adhesins, siderophores, secretion systems.
517 virulence genes →
🔌
Plasmid Replicons
PlasmidFinder catalogue

🚀 How to use ABYSS

Four steps from query to genome download — no installation, no account, no limits.

1

Browse a module

Pick a typing view (MLST, Capsule), gene-based retrieval (AMR, Virulence, Plasmid), or the Master Table for everything at once.

2

Stack filters

Combine genotype + geography: e.g. IC2 + KL2 + OXA-23 + Ghana + blood + 2015–2023.

3

Export accessions

Click 🧬 Accessions to download a plain-text list of matching genome accession IDs — one per line.

4

Download genomes

Feed the list to NCBI: datasets download genome accession --inputfile list.txt — that's it.
