BVBRC Search Genome Features

Search for genome features (genes, proteins, CDS) in BV-BRC pathogen genomes. Find specific genes like antimicrobial resistance genes (mecA, blaTEM), virulence factors, or any annotated feature across thousands of pathogen genomes. Example: search for 'mecA' gene (methicillin resistance) across all genomes.
