Virus bioinformatics: databases and recent applications.
Bioinformatics is now used as an umbrella term for almost all aspects of computational biology. Bioinformatics research will have an impact on all of biology, and virology is not immune from these research methods. Although virology has been slower to embrace bioinformatics this is now changing, particularly in the areas of viral sequences databasing and the systematic identification of viral and host homologous proteins. Here we will review some of these recent advances focusing mainly on the herpesvirus.
