ViralEpi v1.0: a high-throughput spectrum of viral epigenomic methylation profiles from diverse diseases. – PubMed – NCBI

AIMS: To develop a computational resource for viral epigenomic methylation profiles from diverse diseases. MATERIALS & METHODS: Methylation patterns of Epstein-Barr virus and hepatitis B virus genomic regions are provided as web platform developed using open source Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP (LAMP) bundle: programming and scripting languages, that is, HTML, JavaScript and PERL. RESULTS: A comprehensive and integrated web resource ViralEpi v1.0 is developed providing well-organized compendium of methylation events and statistical analysis associated with several diseases. Additionally, it also facilitates ‘Viral EpiGenome Browser’ for user-affable browsing experience using JavaScript-based JBrowse. CONCLUSION: This web resource would be helpful for research community engaged in studying epigenetic biomarkers for appropriate prognosis and diagnosis of diseases and its various stages.
