What is OVDB
Introduction to OVDB
OVDB (Oncolytic Virus Databank) is a web-based database for providing information of diverse viruses and oncolytic viruses including sequence data. It can be utilized for understanding viral cancer-selective killing mechanisms and finding novel oncolytic virus candidates.
The main purpose of this database is to identify genetic features that give viruses the cancer-specific killing abilities.
Bioinformatics utilities and computational tools are also available in OVDB allowing researchers to analyze biological and genetic data either of OVDB or user's own.
