Viral Bioinformatics Resource Center

NIH funding for VBRC ended in Dec. 2009: ViPR is now funded by NIH to provide bioinformatics support for NIAID Category A – C Priority viral pathogens. For more info, contact the director of ViPR (Richard.Scheuermann at UTSouthwestern.edu) or the BRC Program Officer (Andrei Gabrielian; gabr at niaid.nih.gov). 

This site (Virology.ca, the Canadian half of the VBRC), is now focusing on large DNA viruses:

  • Poxviruses
  • African Swine Fever Viruses
  • Iridoviruses
  • Baculoviruses

To access the databases and tools, users must now have an account on Virology.ca. Don't panic! It's free and simple, just go to the Login menu (top right) and create a new account if you need one. This is change is simply to help us keep better track of our users. For more information, email cupton@uvic.ca.  Click here for VBRC's farewell comments.

NOTE:   Apr 11, 2011:  If you have problems logging into VBRC, please email:   cupton at uvic dot ca.

NOTE:   Feb 15, 2011:  Virology.ca has implemented a new procedure to monitor accounts. 

The first time you login after this date, you will need to create a new account. Accounts set up with fake email addresses will be deleted.
