Recent advancements in genomic technologies have enabled high throughput cost-effective generation of 'omics' data from M.tuberculosis (M.tb) isolates, which then gets shared via a number of heterogeneous publicly available biological databases. Albeit useful, fragmented curation negatively impacts the researcher's ability to leverage the data via federated queries.
