DPVweb

DPVweb is a database for virologists working on plant viruses combining taxonomic, bioinformatic and symptom data.

DPVweb is a central web-based source of information about viruses, viroids and satellites of plants, fungi and protozoa.

[1] It provides comprehensive taxonomic information, including brief descriptions of each family and genus, and classified lists of virus sequences.

[2] In 1998 all of the 354 DPVs published in paper were scanned, and converted into an electronic format in a database and distributed on CDROM.

In 2001 the descriptions were made available on the new DPVweb site, providing open access to the now 400+ DPVs (currently 415) as well as taxonomic and sequence data on all plant viruses.
