The Hepatitis C
Virus (HCV) Database Project was initially funded by the Division
of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases of the National Institute
of Allergies and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). The HCV database
group strives to present HCV-associated, hand-annotated genetic
data in a userfriendly way, by providing access to the central
database via web-accessible search interfaces and supplying
a number of analysis tools.
This project is deeply indebted to the HIV Database Group, led by Dr. Bette Korber, for
much of its tools, infrastructure and philosophy; the two databases continue
to collaborate closely and to share software and resources.
