VectorBase is a Bioinformatics Resource Center for Invertebrate Vectors of Hu- man Pathogens funded by NIAID. It is a centralized relational database based on a publicly available and supported database management system. There are a number of different processes that are carefully designed to effectively share data and communicate throughout the project. We outline the people and processes involved in the project. We hope this document can provide a sort of snap-shot of the status of the VectorBase project at the time of this writing, and may provide an initial look into VectorBase.
