While the increasing antibiotic resistance (AMR) in pathogen has been a burden on public health, effective tools for deep understanding of AMR based on genetic or structural information remain limited. In this study, a blanket overarching antimicrobial-resistance gene database with structure information (BOARDS)-a web-based database that comprehensively collected AMR gene data with predictive protein structural information was constructed. Additionally, we report the development of a RADAR pipeline that can analyze whole-genome sequences as well. BOARDS, which includes sequence and structural information, has shown the historical landscape and prevalence of the AMR genes and can provide insight into single-nucleotide polymorphism effects on antibiotic degrading enzymes within protein structures.
