| Yellow fever (YF), a mosquito-borne viral haemorrhagic fever, is one of the most lethal viral diseases. Despite the availability of vaccines, yellow fever virus (YFV) strikes an estimated 2, 00,000 persons world-wide each year and causes 30,000 deaths approximately. There are no approved antiviral therapies for the treatment of YFV disease in humans. YFV 17D strain RNA genome is of 10,862 nucleotides, which encodes three structural proteins (C, PrM, and E) and seven nonstructural proteins (NS1, NS2A, NS2B, NS3, NS4A, NS4B, and NS5). Identification of different protein functions facilitates a mechanistic understanding of YFV infection and opens novel means for drug development. Functional assignment of complete YFV proteome was done through support Vector... |
