    Abstract Measles, mumps, and rubella viruses are well known human pathogens that cause mild to severe illnesses. Despite the existence of MMR vaccines since 1971, outbreaks have been largely documented even in highly vaccinated populations. There is a pressing need to develop a resource to monitor genetic and antigenic variations among these viruses. Here, we introduced MMRdb, a web central database and analysis resource for measles, mumps, and rubella viruses. Users can search viruses at gene level and obtain sequence information based on gene product, geographic location, year, or host. The MMRdb also catalogs experimentally verified B cells and T cells antigenic epitopes data. A set of computation tools such as multiple sequence alignment, Geo Chart, and sequence similarity BLAST search has been implemented in a user-friendly database. The main features of this database will assist researchers in monitoring genetics and antigenic variations, tracking geographic spread with regards of sequence information, and facilitate the development of diagnostics, vaccines, and immunotherapeutics.

    Abstract IRAM is an online, open access, comprehensive database and analysis resource for virus capsids. The database includes over 200 000 hierarchically organized capsid-associated nucleotide and amino acid sequences, as well as 193 capsids structures of high resolution (1-5 Å). Each capsid's structure includes a data file for capsid domain (PDB), capsid symmetry unit (PDB) and capsid structure information (PSF); these contain capsid structural information that is necessary to run further computational studies. Physicochemical properties analysis is implemented for calculating capsid total charge at given radii and for calculating charge distributions. This resource includes BLASTn and BLASTp tools, which can be applied to compare nucleotide and amino acid sequences. The diverse functionality of IRAM is valuable to researchers because it integrates different aspects of virus capsids via a user-friendly interface. Such data are critical for studying capsid evolution and patterns of conservation. The IRAM database can also provide initial necessary information for the design of synthetic capsids for various biotechnological applications.
