Significance and Impact of the Study: We develop a virus-host protein-protein interaction database and the corresponding public web server named ChikvInt. Chikungunya virus is a major threat to the tropical countries. No standard structured database is available to catalogue the protein-protein interactions between Chikungunya and host proteins. In this work, we have developed such a database through literature curation and made it public through a web server. We believe that this database will help the researchers identify effective drug targets to control its rapid spread inside the host body.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
