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 purpose of this weblog is to teach you about viruses and viral disease. This topic is not one that everyone understands, yet nearly everyone would like to. I was most disturbed when the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Tommy G. Thompson, referred to the anthrax bacillus as a virus. That incident crystallized in my mind the need to better educate the public about viruses. ... [Information of the supplier]
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]
Several RNA viruses constitute the majority of emerging and re-emerging pathogens, however, there is very little focus on research into the biology and pathogenesis of RNA viruses in India. Studies on epidemiology and disease burden, risk factors, the immune response to RNA viruses, circulating virus strains and virus evolution, animal models of disease, antivirals and vaccines are strikingly absent. Emerging RNA viruses such as Zika virus and Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus are a matter of grave concern to India. Therefore, this symposium will play a key role in bringing together national and international RNA virus experts from diverse areas on one platform to guide the future of RNA virus research in India. This symposium will provide impetus on laying a strong foundation for both the fundamental and translational aspects of RNA virus biology with a focus on epidemiology, immune response, virus evolution and vaccine trials. ...

Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project (HGP) was a 13-year project coordinated by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health. During the early years of the HGP, the Wellcome Trust (U.K.) became a major partner; additional contributions came from Japan, France, Germany, China, and others. See our history page for more information. Project goals were to identify all the approximately 20,000-25,000 genes in human DNA, determine the sequences of the 3 billion chemical base pairs that make up human DNA, store this information in databases, improve tools for data analysis, transfer related technologies to the private sector, and address the ethical, legal, and social issues (ELSI) that may arise from the project. Though the HGP is finished, analyses of the data will continue for many years. Follow this ongoing research on our Progress page. ... [Information of the supplier]

"Where do we come from?", "Who are we?", "Where are we going to?" The exhibition of the Neanderthal Museum is based on those central topics. One can find them in any part of the house. The permanent exhibition traces humankind's long journey from the origins in the African savannahs to the urban centres of our times. Of course, emphasis is given to the Neanderthals and the true-to-life figures based upon skeletal remains which were reconstructed using the latest forensic methods. Multimedia arrangements and audio-experiences, but also classical media such as exhibits and texts give vivid insights into the results of current archaeological and palaeoanthropological research. Computer terminals offer the opportunity for further individual in-depth research. ... [Information of the supplier]
