HPV Sequence Database

(Previously Hosted by Los Alamos National Lab)

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 the Nebraska Center for Virology in the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. More information about the database, contact Peter Angeletti here.

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.

I. The HPV Compendium

Each year we publish a compendium of papillomavirus information called Human Papillomaviruses: A Compilation and Analysis of Nucleic Acid and Amino Acid Sequences. which can now be downloaded from this Web site. The 1997 Compendium was released to the Web on October 23. Included in the Compendium and its predecessors are

II. Data

Besides the compendium, we also provide genetic sequence information for papilloma viruses and related cellular proteins.

New Items

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.
