Description
Information about retroviruses and specialized tools for the analysis of retroviral proteins and genomes. The tools on this page aid in the identification, study and analysis of retroviral genomes and proteins. For instance, the HIV, human interaction database catalogs and organizes published data in peer-reviewed journals regarding HIV-1 and human protein interactions. Several links external to NCBI are also included for the purposes of education, research and health-related matters. These include links to the CDC, the Retroviruses textbook and other informative sites.

| HIV-1 Human Interaction Database | HTML | Information about known interactions of HIV-1 proteins with proteins from human hosts. It provides annotated bibliographies of published reports of protein interactions, with links to the corresponding PubMed records and sequence data. | Open resource |
| Retrovirus genotyping tool | HTML | This tool helps identify the genotype of a viral sequence. A window is slid along the query sequence and each window is compared by BLAST to each of the reference sequences for a particular virus. This approach is especially useful for the analysis of recombinant sequences | Open resource |
