Abstract

Bioterrorism is the intended use of pathogenic strains of microbes to widen terror in a population. There is a definite need to promote research for development of vaccines, therapeutics and diagnostic methods as a part of preparedness to any bioterror attack in the future. BIRS is an open-access database of collective information on the organisms related to bioterrorism. The architecture of database utilizes the current open-source technology viz PHP ver 5.3.19, MySQL and IIS server under windows platform for database designing. Database stores information on literature, generic- information and unique pathways of about 10 microorganisms involved in bioterrorism. This may serve as a collective repository to accelerate the drug discovery and vaccines designing process against such bioterrorist agents (microbes). The available data has been validated from various online resources and literature mining in order to provide the user with a comprehensive information system.AvailabilityThe database is freely available at http://www.bioterrorism.biowaves.org

Highlights

Bioterrorism is the intended use of pathogenic strains of microbes to widen terror in a population
The release of viruses, bacteria, or other germs used to dataset is very huge related to conditions and not limited to cause illness or death in people, animals, or plants [2, 3]. bioterrorism while CDC, provides online information related to Bioterrorism poses a global threat to life and well being of the different disease conditions and is quit general
To address people [4] and there is a definite need to promote above issues, we have developed an open access repository research in the field of biodefense for development of vaccines, named BIRS-Bioterrorism Information Retrieval System, which therapeutics and diagnostic methods as a part of preparedness is non-redundant, free-access and normalized for to any such bioterror attack in the future

Summary

Introduction

Bioterrorism is the intended use of pathogenic strains of microbes to widen terror in a population. CHEMM [10], Bioterrorism is one of the biggest threats that human life faces another online resource that provides information related to today [1].
