Influenza Virus Resource presents data obtained from the NIAID Influenza Genome Sequencing Project as well as from GenBank, combined with tools for flu sequence analysis and annotation. In addition, it provides links to other resources that contain flu sequences, publications and general information about flu viruses. [Information of the supplier]
The HCV database group strives to present HCV-associated genetic and immunologic data in a userfriendly way, by providing access to the central database via web-accessible search interfaces and supplying a number of analysis tools. (...) The HCV search interface allows you to find and download sequences on the basis of a number of criteria. (...) You can either download all sequences (as nucleotides or amino acid sequences) that meet your criteria, or you can limit your set to a specific gene or region by selecting that genomic region on the search interface. (...) ... [Information of the supplier, modified]
The HIV databases contain data on HIV genetic sequences, immunological epitopes, drug resistance-associated mutations, and vaccine trials. The website also gives access to a large number of tools that can be used to analyze these data. This project is funded by the Division of AIDS of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). ...

Dr.VIS collects and locates human disease-related viral integration sites. So far, about 600 sites covering 5 virus organisms and 11 human diseases are available. Integration sites in Dr.VIS are located against chromesome, cytoband, gene and refseq position as specific as possible. Viral-cellular junction sequences are extracted from papers and nucleotide databases, and linked to cooresponding integration sites Graphic views summarizing distribution of viral integration sites are generated according to chromosome maps. It is free to browse and download data in Dr.VIS. ... [Information of the supplier]
GeneCards® is an integrated database of human genes that includes automatically-mined genomic, proteomic and transcriptomic information, as well as orthologies, disease relationships, SNPs, gene expression, gene function, and service links for ordering assays and antibodies.

The Human Metabolome Database (HMDB) is a freely available electronic database containing detailed information about small molecule metabolites found in the human body. It is intended to be used for applications in metabolomics, clinical chemistry, biomarker discovery and general education. The database is designed to contain or link three kinds of data: 1) chemical data, 2) clinical data, and 3) molecular biology/biochemistry data. The database currently contains nearly 2500 metabolite entries including both water-soluble and lipid soluble metabolites as well as metabolites that would be regarded as either abundant (> 1 uM) or relatively rare (< 1 nM). ...

The HuGE Literature Finder is one component of the HuGE Navigator, an integrated, searchable knowledge base of genetic associations and related information in human genome epidemiology. In 2001, HuGENet launched the HuGE Published Literature database (HuGE Pub Lit), a continually updated and accessible knowledge base on the World Wide Web that tracks the growing published literature of human genome epidemiologic studies. HuGE Pub Lit offers a starting point for assembling articles for meta-analysis, highlighting research gaps, suggesting applied research questions, and identifying potential collaborators. HuGE Pub Lit contains links to abstracts on PubMed that meet the inclusion and exclusion criteria (see below). HuGENet research staff is responsible for extracting relevant articles from PubMed and entering them into the HuGE Pub Lit database on a weekly basis. Since June 2007, a new automatic HuGE literature screening – GAPscreener was implemented to assist the weekly HuGE literature scanning from PubMed. The sensitivity of HuGE literature screening performance can reach 97.5%. An average of 500 new articles per week is retrieved by GAPscreener. A researcher who is familiar with the eligibility criteria for human genome epidemiology then reviews each title and abstract (or in a few cases, the full text). This researcher decides whether the study will be included in the database and, if it will, assigns indexing for each article. HuGE Literature Finder is a newly-designed HuGE Pub Lit database that utilizes the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) as an indexing mechanism. ... [Information of the supplier]
The Universal Virus Database, ICTVdB, is authorized by ICTV (International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses) and has been constructed by Cornelia Büchen-Osmond, from 1991-2000 in the Bioinformatics Group, Australian National University, in consultation with ATCC and supported by NSF. In 2001 ICTVdB moved to the Biosphere 2 Center, the Western Campus of the Earth Institute, Columbia University of New York USA. Version 4 is an update of Version 3, copyrighted by ICTV in 2002. Recently, the ICTVdB server was physically relocated to the C2B2 at Columbia University. In 2006, Sean Conlan in the Jerome L. and Dawn Greene Infectious Disease Laboratory at Columbia University became project manager in charge of organizing the migration of the database and design of the user interface. The directory of ICTVdB is an index of viruses, a list of approved virus names linked to virus descriptions coded from information in Virus Taxonomy: The Eighth Report of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, Fauquet et al. (eds) Academic Press (2005), and includes updates subsequently approved by ICTV. It also incorporates the plant virus database VIDEdB and is illustrated with EM pictures, diagrams and images of symptoms contributed by virologists around the world. The goals of ICTVdB are as follows: Provide the online ICTV resource for virus nomenclature and taxonomy / Provide a controlled descriptive grammar for viruses / Facilitate virus identification / Facilitate the tracking of virus isolate data from around the world / Provide a centralized system for storing and tracking published viral isolates. ...

The Virus Database at University College London has been developed as a system to organize animal virus open reading frame sequences. All known and predicted protein sequences from complete and partial genomes of particular virus families are extracted from GenBank and filtered to remove 100% redundancy. On the basis of sequence similarity the sequences are then clustered into homologous protein families (HPFs). The families are enriched with annotations including function and functional classification, related protein structures, taxonomy, length of the proteins, boundaries of the conserved region/s, virus-specific gene name and links to EMBL entries and SWISSPROT. It is also possible to retrieve the pre-aligned conserved sequence regions or complete protein sequences as fasta format files. Queries can be performed using the family number, virus name, protein function, GenBank identification number or, alternatively, any keyword/s. ... [Information of the supplier]
VIDA contains a collection of homologous protein families derived from open reading frames from complete and partial virus genomes. For each family, you can get an alignment of the conserved regions, functional and taxonomy information, and links to DNA sequences and structures. [Information of the supplier]
