HIV Sequence Database
|
Programs and Tools
Search Interface retrieves HIV and SIV sequences, which can then be aligned and used to build trees Geography Search Interface retrieves HIV sequences based on geographical distribution Tools for working with sequences a complete list of our online tools, organized by function Alignments
HIV Premade Alignments includes Consensus and Ancestral Sequences, Subtype Reference Alignments (for use in trees, subtyping, and recombination analysis), and Complete Alignments (based on all sequences in the database) |

We moved the HIV sequence database from Sybase to PostgreSQL. In the process we updated the Sequence Search Interface, the Advanced Search, the Geography Search Interface, and some minor tools associated with the database. 13 January 2009
Our page describing the Circulating Recombinant Forms (CRFs) has new images showing the subtypes in each recombinant more clearly. We have added an additional web page that lists the breakpoints for each CRF. 04 November 2008
We have a new tool called Pixel that visualizes large alignments as an image, using 1 pixel per residue. It can be very helpful when the alignments get large enough that you lose the overview, and quickly shows problems and misalignments. It works for both nucleotide and amino acid alignments. 25 October 2008
