VIDA: a virus database system for the organization of animal virus genome open reading frames
VIDA is a new virus database that organizes open reading frames
(ORFs) from partial and complete genomic sequences from animal viruses.
Currently VIDA includes all sequences from GenBank for Herpesviridae,
Coronaviridae and Arteriviridae. The ORFs are organized into homologous
protein families, which are identified on the basis of sequence
similarity relationships. Conserved sequence regions of potential functional
importance are identified and can be retrieved as sequence alignments.
We use a controlled taxonomical and functional classification for
all the proteins and protein families in the database. When available,
protein structures that are related to the families have also been
included. The database is available for online search and sequence
information retrieval at http://www.biochem.ucl.ac.uk/bsm/virus_database/VIDA.html.
