HIV-1 Consensus and Ancestral Alignments

Files containing consensus and some ancestral sequences of all the major HIV subtypes are available for download here in four formats as alignments and as gapless files. The files include a consensus of each subtype, and an M-group consensus of all consensuses. The point of these files is to allow the user to have prebuilt consensus sequences for reagent design.

Download Instructions: from the table below select

• format of the downloaded file(s). In the pretty print version the alignments are broken into lines of 50 characters each and the sequences are presented in output aligned style, like this
  

  CON_OF_CONS      catctTgatc tTtgggaTgt TaaTaatctg Tagtgctgca gaaaActTgT 
  Mgroup.anc       ---------- ---------- -g--g----- ---------- ---------- 
  CONSENSUS_A1     a-cta----- --g------a ---------- ---------- ---------- 
  

  Pretty print files are not available for the "unaligned" versions of the consensus files.
• computer type on which you will view or use these files.
• consensus file(s) you want to download. If you select more than one file be aware that all the files will be concatenated into one big file called consensuses, and you will have to split them out yourself. It is probably wiser to download one file at a time.
• Click on Submit.
