Prahlad Kishore Seth Bioinformatics Centre, Biotech Park, Sector-G, Jankipuram, Lucknow 226021, Uttar Pradesh, India Email: [email protected] Abstract: Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV) is an RNA virus and causes delta hepatitis in humans. Although a lot of data is available for HDV, but retrieval of information is a complicated task. Current web database ‘HDVDB’ provides a comprehensive web-resource for HDV. The database is basically concerned with basic information about HDV and disease caused by this virus, genome structure, pathogenesis, epidemiology, symptoms and prevention, etc. Database also supplies sequence data and bibliographic information about HDV. A tool ‘siHDV Predict’ to design the effective siRNA molecule to control the activity of HDV, is also integrated in database. It is a user friendly information system available at public domain and provides annotated information about HDV for research scholars, scientists, pharma industry people for further study. Keywords: database; HDV; SiRNA; warehouse. Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Singh, S., Gupta, S.K., Nischal, A., Pant, K.K. and Seth, P.K. (2015) ‘HDVDB: a data warehouse for hepatitis delta virus’, Int. J. Bioinformatics Research and Applications, Vol. 11, No. 2, pp.162–170. Biographical notes: Sarita Singh is a Doctoral Fellow in the Bioinformatics Division, Biotech Park, Lucknow, India. Her current research is focusing on bioinformatics related applied works and virology.
