N2 - Taiwan, due to its intertropical location and humid climate, is dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever epidemic region. Many researchers are involved in studying the virulence of dengue virus in order to find a cure to the disease, to prevent its spreading, etc. One approach to do so is via bioinformatics technology. Because the core items to any bioinformatics study are a complete database and pertinent bioinformatics analysis tools, the purpose of this study is to setup a relational dengue virus database system and to provide a high-efficiency user-friendly bioinformatics computational platform to facilitate dengue virus study. Unlike the traditional flat-file format used by NCBI GenBank, our relational database provides faster searching speed, allows efficient storage space usage and avoids data redundancy. To facilitate the database usage, we have also integrated the EMBOSS (European Molecular Biology Open Software Suit) tools.
