Abstract

The VectorBase Bioinformatics Resource Center (BRC) is a science gateway, funded by the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), entering its 10 years of service to the scientific community on invertebrate vectors that transmit human diseases. This abstract describes three key factors contributing to the success of this science gateway: virtual organization, data and services integration, and community involvement and outreach. The role each plays in how they are impacted by the development of cyberinfrastructure is discussed.
