Viral infections pose significant public health challenges, exemplified by the global impact of COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2. Understanding the intricate molecular mechanisms governing virus-host interactions is pivotal for effective intervention strategies. Despite the burgeoning multi-omics data on viral infections, a centralized database elucidating host responses to viruses remains lacking. In response, we have developed a comprehensive database named 'MOI' (available at http://www.fynn-guo.cn/ ), specifically designed to aggregate processed Multi-Omics data related to viral Infections. This meticulously curated database serves as a valuable resource for conducting detailed investigations into virus-host interactions. Leveraging high-throughput sequencing data and metadata from PubMed and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO), MOI comprises over 3200 viral-infected samples, encompassing human and murine infections. Standardized processing pipelines ensure data integrity, including bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-seq), single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq), Chromatin Immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq), and Assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing (ATAC-seq). MOI offers user-friendly interfaces presenting comprehensive cell marker tables, gene expression data, and epigenetic landscape charts. Analytical tools for DNA sequence conversion, FPKM calculation, differential gene expression, and Gene Ontology (GO)/ Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment enhance data interpretation. Additionally, MOI provides 16 visualization plots for intuitive data exploration. In summary, MOI serves as a valuable repository for researchers investigating virus-host interactions. By centralizing and facilitating access to multi-omics data, MOI aims to advance our understanding of viral pathogenesis and expedite the development of therapeutic interventions.
