[…] e analyses, all available iridoviral genome sequences (n = 53) were downloaded from the NCBI Viral Genomes Resource (); additionally, re-annotated iridoviral genomes (n = 15) were downloaded from the Viral Bioinformatics Resource Center (VBRC) (; ). Protein sequences of the D. magna genome reference clone Xinb3 (from a Finnish rockpool) (GCA_001632505.1) and D. pulex (GCA_000187875.1) were downloa […]

[…] even with our growing ability to acquire sequence data, its potential to impact disease surveillance is only fully accessed when data are translated into public health actions.Initiatives such as the Viral Bioinformatics Resource Center (VBRC) aim to close the gaps between massive viral sequencing and bioinformatics are a welcome addition to the set of on-line bioinformatics tools available to the […]

[…] MUSCLE was used for generating multiple sequence alignments [], which were viewed and edited using the Java program Base-By-Base [] via the Viral Bioinformatics Resource Center []. The ORF Finder software at the National Center for Biotechnology Information (USA) was used to visualize the length of the NEG8 ORF.SignalP v3.0 (SignalP-NN an […]

[…] To look for recombination in WNV isolates, we used 154 whole genome Kunjin virus and West Nile virus sequences (See additional file for the original data used) obtained from the Viral Bioinformatics Resource Center . A multiple sequence alignment (MSA) of these genomes was constructed using MUSCLE []. Phylogenetic reconstruction of all available genomic sequences was performe […]

[…] view [,], Base-By-Base (BBB) []). The alignment of large DNA sequences, in the size range of bacterial chromosomes, requires specialized alignment tools and viewers [,]. The mandate of the NIH funded Viral Bioinformatics Resource Center (VBRC) includes collection, annotation and storage of the complete genomes for seven virus families, and both the VBRC administrators and researchers frequently cr […]
