HIV Sequence Database
Los Alamos HIV database
"The canonical HIV sequence, immunology and drug-resistance resource."
About the resource
The Los Alamos HIV Sequence Database has been the canonical HIV resource since 1987. It aggregates HIV-1 and HIV-2 sequences with extensive annotation — subtype, geography, sampling year, host data — and provides specialised tools for alignment, subtyping, recombination detection (jpHMM), epitope mapping and primer/probe design.
The associated HIV Molecular Immunology Database catalogues B- and T-cell epitopes, and the database integrates with the Stanford HIV Drug Resistance Database for treatment-resistance interpretation. Together these form the foundational reference layer for HIV genomic, immunological and clinical-virology research.
What you'd use it for
- 01Subtype an HIV sequence and detect inter-subtype recombination
- 02Look up B- or T-cell epitope coverage for vaccine design
- 03Interpret HIV drug-resistance genotypes (via Stanford HIVdb)
- 04Pull reference alignments for HIV phylogenetics
