[edit] Resource description

Sixty years of study have made Escherichia coli the most deeply understood organism at the molecular level. Much of what we know about cellular processes can be traced to fundamental discoveries in E. coli. In spite of its great importance as a model organism, information about E. coli is distributed among many online resources.

EcoliHub exists to bring together researchers interested in E. coli and scientists who rely on E. coli as a model organism with the most up-to-date information and data related to E. coli. The hub metaphor aptly describes the purpose of this site; although a hub never touches the ground, without a hub the wheel will collapse. There are numerous resources with "rubber on the road", but they need a hub to pull them together into a harmonious whole. When complete, EcoliHub will be that hub.
