HPV Sequence Database


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 here.

This Web site has two main branches. The first contains our 1994 and 1995 compendia of papillomavirus information, 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 1995 Compendium was released on October 26. Included in the Compendium are

II. Data

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

On October 26 we published the 1995 version of Human Papillomaviruses

On July 5, 1995 we released the results of a massive BLAST search for peptides that match conserved regions of papillomavirus proteins. You can download typeset Acrobat files of the search results for each gene:


There are also a number of newly released PV sequences and variants on ftp-t10.lanl.gov, our ftp server. These are in very abbreviated GenBank and EMBL formats. Please browse.
