ARGminer is database that focuses on the novel method of crowd-sourced curation over manual curation of Antibiotic Resistance Genes (ARG) pulled from a multiple sources such as CARD, ARDB, NDARO, DeepARG, Uniprot, ResFinder, and SARG.[1] Additionally, due to the existence of Mobile Genetic Elements (MGE), ARGminer also interfaces with PATRIC and ACLAME.[1] ARGminer annotated genes using their gene name, antibiotic category, resistance mechanism, evidence for mobility and occurrence in clinically important bacterial strains.[1] There are two groups of crowd-sourced curators. One was hired on Amazon Mechanical Turk which offers a broad audience of crowd-sourced experts and non-experts that can annotate for monetary reward. Due to the presence of mixed expertise, each user is only allowed maximum 20 annotations. The other group is a graduate-level microbiology class.[1]
