Virus Pathogen Database and Analysis Resource
 |
Virus Pathogen Database and Analysis Resource (ViPR) is a publicly available one-stop database and analysis resource to search, analyze, visualize, save and share data for viral pathogens in the U.S. National Institutes of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) Category A-C Priority Pathogen lists for biodefense research, and other viral pathogens causing emerging/reemerging infectious diseases. ViPR is one of the five Bioinformatics Resource Centers (BRC) funded by NIAID, a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), which is an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services.
