Motivation

Virus receptors are presented on the cell surfaces of a host and are key for viral infection of host cells. However, no unified resource for the study of viral receptors is currently available.

Results

To address this problem, we built EVIHVR, a platform for analyzing the expression and variation, and for the identification of human virus receptors. EVIHVR provides three functions: (1) Receptor expression function for browsing and analyzing the expression of human virus receptors in various human tissues/cells; (2) Receptor gene polymorphism function for analyzing the genetic polymorphism of human virus receptors in different human populations and human tissues; and (3) Predict receptor function for identifying potential virus receptors based on differential expression analysis. EVIHVR can become a useful tool for the analysis and identification of human virus receptors.

Availability and implementation

EVIHVR is publicly available at http://www.computationalbiology.cn/EVIHVR/#/.
