Abstract:
Hantaviruses are etiological agents of several severe respiratory illnesses in humans and their human-to-human transmission has been reported. To cope with any potential pandemic, this group of viruses needs further research and a data platform. Therefore, herein we developed a database "HantavirusesDB (HVdb)", where genomics, proteomics, immune resource, RNAi based therapeutics and information on the 3D structures of druggable targets of the Orthohantaviruses are provided on a single platform. The database allows the researchers to effectively map the therapeutic strategies by designing multi-epitopes subunit vaccine and RNA based therapeutics. Moreover, the ease of the web interface allow the users to retrieve specific information from the database. Because of the high quality and excellent functionality of the HVdb, therapeutic research of Hantaviruses can be accelerated, and data analysis might be a foundation to design better treatment strategies targeting the hantaviruses. The database is accessible at http://hvdb.dqweilab-sjtu.com/index.php.
