About

About EvoVF
  • EvoVF is a database dedicated to Orthologs of the virulence factors and is designed to collate and classify protein based VFs into distinct families.
  • It aims to facilitate the systematic comparative analysis of nsVF orthologs from both pathogenic and non-pathogenic organisms, with a focus on evolutionary divergence and its effects on protein structure and function.
  • Definition

    Pathogen-specific VFs (psVFs) : Virulence factors which are unique to pathogens

    Non-specific VFs (nsVFs) : Virulence factors which are found in non-pathogenic species as well, but may contribute to virulence in pathogens.
