PaVE version 2.0 release

We re-wrote PaVE from the ground up. After almost 10 years, it was time. We moved PaVE out of it's aging Java framework and into a new Python framework called Flask. We hope that we've maintained everything you loved about PaVE, and that we've added some new features you find nice to have. Here's everything we changed:

  • Full GUI update:
    • Refreshed the look-and-feel. Most things should still be right where you left them, but we did move a few things around. The phylogenetic tree is now under "Analyze," and we've recategorized the help and support pages, for example.
    • Replaced JsPhyloSVG with phylotree.js (a D3 library) for viewing the phylogenetic tree.
    • Replaced JSMol with Mol*, providing a richer set of functionality when viewing structures
    • Display the tree on the L1 typing tool results page.
    • Provide an interactive viewer to display the multiple sequence alignment results.
  • Updated the tools:
    • Replaced Cobalt with MAFFT for multiple sequence alignments (note, this may affect the results of the L1 typing tool, which is dependent on the alignment for classification)
    • Upgraded to the latest version of BLAST+
    • Upgraded to the latest version of PAUP* for phylogenetic tree generation

New additions

  • Two new movies: one showing the viral minichromosome packaged into a viral capsid, and one showing how the viral genome partitions during cell division.

New features

  • Genomes can now be downloaded in GFF3 format from the Search Database page.
  • Added a new 3D Viewer that provides interactive visualizations that explore key aspects of HPV structure and lifecycle.

    3. A new Image Viewer contains gross and microscopic images of papillomavirus infection.
  • In collaboration with Elsevier, PaVE has spearheaded a Special Issue of Virology about the functional genomics of Papillomaviruses. Each article in the Special Issue provides an in-depth, unbiased and encyclopedic overview of different aspects of papillomavirus genomics and proteomics, written by experts in the papillomavirus field. The main aim of each article is to completely document details about viral proteins, cis-elements, evolution, and disease. This Special Issue is intended to be a companion resource to the PaVE website and will serve as an important reference resource for the scientific community. You can visit the blog site for this special issue at http://www.virologyhighlights.com/?p=144.
