ARGminer is a web platform for the manual inspection of antibiotic resistance genes. It is derived from the development of the deepARG-DB. ARGminer uses crowdsourcing as a way to curate new ARGs based on the information collected from repositories such as NCBI, UNIPROT, CARD, ARDB, PUBMED among others.
