MRF Meningococcus Genome Library (PubMLST) database

Meningitis Research Foundation (MRF) has commissioned the creation of a comprehensive online library of the genomes of all meningococcal disease isolates for 2010/11 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, open to scientists anywhere in the world. The aim is to enable advancement in serogroup B meningococcal vaccine research, making a lasting contribution to MenB vaccine development. This has been, and continues to be a major focus of work at MRF, whose trustees place particular emphasis on research into prevention of serogroup B meningococcal disease.
