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.
