Papillomavirus Episteme (PaVE)

The PapillomaVirus Episteme (PaVE) provides highly organized and curated papillomavirus genomics information and tools to research the Papillomaviridae family of viruses. The PaVE includes a database and web applications to store, annotate, analyze, and exchange information. The PaVE adopts an open source software approach and emphasizes integration and reuse of existing tools.

Main Areas of Focus

Provide core components needed to accelerate scientific progress and ultimately our understanding, detection, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases caused by papillomaviruses

Tools

  • Database and web applications that support the storage, annotation, analysis, and exchange of information
  • Multiple Sequence Alignment 
  • Protein Structure Viewer 
  • Pavic L1 Taxonomy Tool 
  • 360 annotated papillomavirus genomes (including 20 Non-reference genomes), 3688 genes and regions, 3328 protein sequences, and 59 protein structures, which users can explore, analyze or download
  • LANL Human Papillomaviruses Database archive for years 1994 to 1997
  • Graphic visualization of sequence features using a novel “locus view” (GenBank, FASTA, and EMBL formats are also available)
  • Precise BLAST results against the papillomavirus-specific PaVE databases, including all Papillomavirus nucleotide and peptide sequences from GenBank
  • Dynamic keyword search results and filter options that are automatically updated as you apply filters for partial versus complete genomes, year submitted, country of origin, molecule, annotation features, taxonomy, and more
