HIV-1 Sequence Quality Analysis ToolThis tool is designed to use determine the quality of a specific HIV sequence. The sequence is analyzed for contamination using BLAST with both public (GenBank) and personal (unpublished sequences) sequence databases. Sequence translational problems (such as frame shift and stop codons mutations) are identified using complete genome and the proteome of the HIV-1 reference sequence HXB2. |
HIV Quality Analysis Tool Classification Rules Rule 1: FAIL = LOW
QUALITY
Result assigned based on query sequence match with a HIV-1 sequence in the GenBank with >= 98% identical nucleotides. Rule 2: FAIL = LOW QUALITY Result assigned based on query sequence with two (2) or more frame deletion/insertion mutations. Query sequence match a HIV-1 sequence in the GenBank with < 98% identical nucleotides. Rule 3: FAIL = LOW QUALITY Result assigned based on query sequence with two (2) or more stop codons mutations and with less than two (2) frame shit mutations. Query sequence match a HIV-1 sequence in the GenBank with < 98% identical nucleotides. Rule 4: PASS = HIGH QUALITY Result assigned based on query sequence with less than two (2) stop codons and frame shift mutations. Query sequence match a HIV-1 sequence in the GenBank with < 98% identical nucleotides.
