Description

This track shows known HIV-1 genes and regions based on data from HIV Sequence Database.

Methods

Protein sequences from the Numbering Positions in HIV Relative to HXB2CG page at HIV Sequence Database were aligned against the $organism genome using BLAT. Those alignments spanning less than 70% length of the protein sequence were discarded.

The variable regions (V1, V2, V3, V4, and V5) of ENV are also marked according to the genomic position data found at http://www.hiv.lanl.gov/components/sequence/HIV/combined_search_s_tree/help.html#region.

Credits

This track was produced at UCSC from protein sequence data obtained from the HIV Sequence Database.
