The Human Papillomaviruses Database collects, curates, analyzes, and
publishes genetic sequences of papillomaviruses and related cellular proteins.
Our group includes molecular biologists, sequence analysts, computer
technicians, post-docs and graduate research assistants. We are located at
Los Alamos National Laboratory in the
Theoretical Biology and Biophysics Group and are funded by the Division of
Microbiology and Infectious Diseases of the National Institute of Allergy
and Infectious Diseases through an interagency agreement with the Department
of Energy. More information about database staff, address and phone is

This Web site has two main branches. The first contains our four annual data books of papillomavirus information, called Human Papillomaviruses: A Compilation and Analysis of Nucleic Acid and Amino Acid Sequences. and the second contains papillomavirus genetic sequence data. There is also a New Items location where we store the latest changes to the database or any other current news of interest. We provide links to other molecular biology information sources on the Web.
Here are some links to information about medical and public health aspects of papillomavirus infections.
We appreciate receiving your
comments, queries, and criticisms
about this Web site.
Besides the compendium, we also provide genetic sequence information for papilloma viruses and related cellular proteins.
Attention Macintosh Netscape users.
On October 23, 1997 we published the 1997 version of Human Papillomaviruses. Subscribers should be receiving their hard copies of this book around mid-November.
We have alignments of a number of papillomavirus types and their variants that you can download. These alignments were the basis for the Survey of Papillomavirus Variants article that appears in the 96 compendium. If you have new variants and wish to see how they compare with other known variants these files will be of interest.
Our group concentrates on molecular aspects of the human papillomavirus proteins and nucleic acids. We are not qualified to provide information about HPV infections from a medical or public health standpoint. Please do not contact us with health-related questions.
