Abstract
Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) is an RNA virus and causes delta hepatitis in humans. Although a lot of data is available for HDV, but retrieval of information is a complicated task. Current web database 'HDVDB' provides a comprehensive web-resource for HDV. The database is basically concerned with basic information about HDV and disease caused by this virus, genome structure, pathogenesis, epidemiology, symptoms and prevention, etc. Database also supplies sequence data and bibliographic information about HDV. A tool 'siHDV Predict' to design the effective siRNA molecule to control the activity of HDV, is also integrated in database. It is a user friendly information system available at public domain and provides annotated information about HDV for research scholars, scientists, pharma industry people for further study.
期刊介绍:
Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary research field that combines biology, computer science, mathematics and statistics into a broad-based field that will have profound impacts on all fields of biology. The emphasis of IJBRA is on basic bioinformatics research methods, tool development, performance evaluation and their applications in biology. IJBRA addresses the most innovative developments, research issues and solutions in bioinformatics and computational biology and their applications. Topics covered include Databases, bio-grid, system biology Biomedical image processing, modelling and simulation Bio-ontology and data mining, DNA assembly, clustering, mapping Computational genomics/proteomics Silico technology: computational intelligence, high performance computing E-health, telemedicine Gene expression, microarrays, identification, annotation Genetic algorithms, fuzzy logic, neural networks, data visualisation Hidden Markov models, machine learning, support vector machines Molecular evolution, phylogeny, modelling, simulation, sequence analysis Parallel algorithms/architectures, computational structural biology Phylogeny reconstruction algorithms, physiome, protein structure prediction Sequence assembly, search, alignment Signalling/computational biomedical data engineering Simulated annealing, statistical analysis, stochastic grammars.
