Popis: Abstract The prevention and treatment of many herpesvirus associated diseases is based on the utilization of antiviral therapies, however therapeutic success is limited by the development of drug resistance. Currently no single database cataloguing resistance mutations exists, which hampers the use of sequence data for patient management. We therefore developed HerpesDRG, a drug resistance mutation database that incorporates all the known resistance genes and current treatment options, built from a systematic review of available genotype to phenotype literature. The database is released along with an R package that provides a simple approach to resistance variant annotation and clinical implication analysis from common sanger and next generation sequencing data. This represents the first openly available and community maintainable database of drug resistance mutations for the human herpesviruses (HHV), developed for the community of researchers and clinicians tackling HHV drug resistance.
