Introduction to Virus Pathogen Resource (ViPR) • NIH/NIAID-funded free bioinformatics database online • Bioinformatics Resource Centers (BRC) contract • Fourteen human virus families including Herpesviridae • Integrated data from various sources • Suite of data analysis and visualization tools
Comparative Analysis Tools Multiple Sequence Alignment Phylogenetic Tree Metadata-driven Comparative Analysis Tool (Meta-CATS)
Host Factor Data • Lynn Enquist / MoriahSzpara, Princeton University • Obtain and assemble deep sequencing data of HSV-1 isolates • Differentially expressed genes in human neuronal cells during a time course of infection
Summary • Free and open access with no use restrictions • Developed by a team of research scientists, bioinformaticians and professional software developers • Comprehensive collection of public data • Novel derived data, novel analytical tools, unique functions • New tools and new data driven by user requests • Training and support • www.viprbrc.org/
