PVDive: the plant virus diversity database.

PVDive centralizes standardized, integrated plant virus isolate and sample data from the Leibniz Institute DSMZ (Germany) into one freely accessible platform.

• Why it matters: Plant virus data are currently hard to find and use because they are non-standardized, scattered, poorly linked, and difficult to search for research, diagnostics, and plant protection.
• What they did: The team built PVDive with a user-friendly interface, advanced search, sequence viewer, host gallery, interactive data views, and a RESTful API for retrieval and interoperability.
• The result: By improving findability, accessibility, retrievability, and interoperability, PVDive enables scientists and digital agents to explore plant virus diversity using centralized, high-quality data.
