Dear all, I am trying to retrive from the "Los Alamos HIV sequence database" ONLY the sequence of HIV-1 POL for clade B. Would you be so kind as to tell me if this is possiible ? and if yes how to do it ? Thank you very much, Cecilia
Hello Cecilia, it is definitely possible. From Los Alamos HIV sequence database website, go to search interface and from there you will find options for subtype and genomic region of interest. There are also options for more identifiers like sequence length, country, year etc if you find them useful. Good luck.
Thank you for your answer. I have done before exactly what you suggested but that gives me the entire viral sequences and I want ONLY the pol coding sequence.
On the download results page, there is a check box to "clip sequences to selected region" which is checked on by default. As long as you don't check it off, the download will only contain the Pol gene, if you selected the pol gene for your search.
